Fantastic bicycle friendly cafe in the heart of Saffron Walden run by two keen cyclists!

Delicious coffee, hot chocolate, pastries and more! They also stock a few bike spares and energy gels/bars.

Well worth a visit if you're cycling through!

Walden Castle Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

The 12th-century Walden Castle, built or expanded by Geoffrey de Mandeville, the first Earl of Essex, is in ruins. After the medieval period, the castle fell into disuse and much of the flint was taken and used in the construction of local houses and the wall surrounding the Audley End estate. All that remains is the ruined basement.

Waffle (Formerly Bicicletta)

Highlight • Cafe

This cafe has now changed management and is called Waffle and Coffee. Still has bike racks and outside seating although I did not see the bike locks last time I was there. Staff still great and the food is even better. Bacon and egg sandwich is very good. Coffee, Tea and cakes and of course waffles. Good clean toilets so well worth visiting as a rest stop.
