Take
the High Street out of the south west of the town for Audley
End House. Straight on (well... rightish) at the three mini
roundabouts. You get a good view of the house from the road, which
is worth a visit (half day) |

B184 |
At
the M11 junction there are 4 roundabouts in quick succession that
are popular with the local boy racers. Great fun if you catch them
without traffic. Go straight over all of them and join the B184
back to Saffron Walden. |
