I was very pleased to discover a free car park next to the River Lea virtually in the centre of the village. It is signposted just off the High Street. I discovered a couple of maps at the old railway station which I would definitely recommend a visit to. There are trails around the village itself as well as trails a little further out of the village into the countryside and surrounding areas. There are lots of different building to discover within the village and I particularly enjoyed the Crinkle Crankle Walls and community garden. It's a very picturesque village and well worth a visit.

The River Ver flows through the south of the town and for much of the course of the river there is a path alongside so you can follow the river as it meanders through the suburbs and into the park. As you walk through the park there are some lovely views of the cathedral and there are information boards dotted along the route. If you enjoy a walk and having babbling water beside you then this is perfect.
