What a wonderful park,lots of little areas to walk around, walled gardens, a mini maze, etc, our dog and we ourselves had a lovely morning here despite the coldness of the winter's day. This park almost has the feel of a stately home garden with lots of architectual quirks and statues and on a summer's day you could easily spend the all day here with a picnic.

Dating back to the twelfth-century (1141), Saffron Walden is a charming and pleasant market town with medieval buildings and original features throughout the tourist trail. From independent stores to high-street retailers, restaurants to banks, the market town has it all but also retains a proper community feel. The streets are clean, buildings full of character and it remains but a short distance from Cambridge despite being in Essex. Generally, it is an all-round delightful place complete with bewitching heritage and useful amenities.
