Welcome to Saffron Walden Town Council
Welcome to our website, which we hope you will enjoy browsing through and encourage you to come and visit this stunning town, nestling in to the countryside in NW Essex some 50 miles from London.
It is a simply delightful, largely unspoilt rural area and is the place to come and relax, now that we're allowed to travel again. This is a very attractive and quintessentially English region, and Saffron Walden is one of the finest preserved examples of a medieval market town in the UK. Come and experience the friendly atmosphere, and enjoy the passion and the history, the gardens and the museum. We have unique family-run shops and a number of cafés and restaurants. We also have the remains of a small castle and the largest and one of the most beautiful Parish Churches in Essex, all set within an outstanding Conservation Area where you can find examples of every style of architecture from the 12th to the 21st century. We are close to, but largely undisturbed by, Stansted airport and we have excellent links to Cambridge, just 15 miles away. Enjoy the site and if there is anything that we can help you with, please contact us….
