Finchingfield Village Green

A beautiful little village which is always busy with cyclists, motorcyclists, classic cars and more. The pub is great, but does get a little busy, so there's a little tea …

Castle Hedingham

Highlight • Viewpoint

A 900-year-old Norman keep, beautifully maintained. It costs to visit the castle (£8.50 for adults), but a quick glance from the comfort of your saddle won't go amiss!
