Nearby lies the old market town of Great Dunmow 4.5 miles away and the medieval village of Thaxted which is considered to be the jewel in the crown of Essex. Both Great Dunmow and Thaxted are home to a wide variety of historic buildings, independent shops, restaurants and pubs. A unique shopping experience and the opportunity for fine dinning.

Mole Hall Wildlife Park is only 6 miles away and covers some 20 acres. A fully moated Manor House provides the centre piece to this enchanting park.
