Plan
for the day
|
We
leave Cambridge for Saffron Walden. On arrival you have the choice
to visit Audley End, a wonderful stately home once frequented by
royalty with its fabulous interiors and Capability Brown-designed
gardens. Alternatively, spend an hour or so browsing the many shops
of the market town. Then on to Lavenham winding our way through
the sleepy villages of Clare and Cavendish with their pastel-coloured
thatched houses. In Lavenham we walk through the quaint streets
to the central square to sample its exquisite architecture. Finally,
we stop in Bury St. Edmunds at the abbey gardens to see the remains
of the old abbey where the Magna Carta was signed by King John in
the 13th century. |
