Thaxted is one of Essex’s finest market towns, and has a recorded history pre-dating Domesday Book.  After exploring Thaxted with its medieval Guildhall and Church, the route heads for Great Bardfield for a stroll along the high street.  There are some bonus clues in the Bardfield Cage, a 19th century lock-up, which is open on weekends and bank holidays during the summer months.  The final stop is the outstandingly beautiful village of Finchingfield, known as ‘the most photographed village in Essex’ – you will see why!
