Home description
Burntwood End is very quietly situated in rolling countryside about 1 mile from Little Walden, in grounds of about 3 acres including a small lake which attracts a variety of wildlife.
The Barn thus provides a secluded and tranquil retreat yet has easy access to the picturesque market town of Saffron Walden (about 3 miles), the historic university city of Cambridge (about 12 miles), the important horse racing town of Newmarket and the interesting Suffolk wool towns, such as Lavenham, or Constable country.

The South East England / Essex region
The aircraft museum at Duxford, with flying days throughout the summer, is nearby. Audley End mainline rail station to London (60 minutes) is about 8 miles away.
There are a number of interesting walks in the area including Fleam Dyke and the Icknield Way. Little Walden itself is a pleasant walk from Burntwood End and has an excellent pub serving good food.
East Anglia is generally the dryer side of England, and enjoys higher than average sunshine.
The area abounds in places of interest within easy reach. The Tourist Office in Saffron Walden are very helpful. Cambridge, London, Ely, the Suffolk wool towns are all accessible for day trips. Best of all you can relax and enjoy peace and quiet on your return.
Saffron Walden / Little Walden area
Saffron Walden is a quintessential English market town in North West Essex. It has medieval roots and is part of a designated conservation area with examples of architecture from the 12th Century including many timber framed houses and relief plastering in evidence. Nearby is Audley End, an extravagant Jacobean property now run by English Heritage. Market days are Tuesday and Thursday, although the saffron production from which the town gets it's name is now longer in evidence.
