Finchingfield pond, Essex - Finchingfield

Finchingfield is one of those picture postcard villages in Essex. It is a delight to walk round to see the thatched roof houses and old fashioned places.

You can swan through this place in a matter of minutes or spend hours looking in one or two of the specialist shops (my favourite is the "Hanzel & Gretel" shop which sells wooden toys - that you can play with - and cuckoo clocks), walking upto the church or the windmill or visiting one or other of the tearooms or pubs.

Pros and Cons

Cons:Parking is free but parking places can be hard to find in the summer.
In a nutshell:Quant little village with history

Regretfully, I swanned through on a rather wet afternoon... I'll have to go back.
