Saffron Walden is a medieval market town in the far north-west of Essex, surrounded by the villages and farmland of Uttlesford. Its narrow old streets make a little planning worthwhile.

The town has no railway station of its own: Audley End station, a mile or two to the west near the great house of the same name, serves it. The B184 links the town with the M11 corridor and with Thaxted and Great Dunmow to the south.
Uttlesford is one of the most rural districts in Essex, and many households here depend on their cars. When one reaches the end of its life, collection from a village drive is simple.
Saffron Walden’s old centre has narrow streets, tight corners and timber-framed buildings. If the car is parked in the middle of town, let the driver know: they may suggest loading from a wider road nearby.
Out in the countryside, give clear directions and mention farm tracks, gates or soft ground. A what3words reference or a landmark is often more useful than a postcode alone.
