Discover a world of surprises in one of Britain's oldest museums, founded in 1835.
This award-winning "friendly family-size museum" welcomes over 20,000 visitors a year, including families, groups, researchers and over 5,000 school children.
The museum is open 363 days a year. Saffron Walden is close to the M11 (exit 10 from north, exits 8 and 9 from south - there is NO exit at Junction 9 when coming from the north).
Audley End railway station is 2 miles west of Saffron Walden, and Stansted Airport is 15 miles to the south.
Saffron Walden Museum opened in 1835 and contains much to "stand awhile and admire". It stands in an enclosed grass meadow, suitable for picnics, with the ruins of the 12th century Walden Castle in the grounds.
The Museum has won a Museum of the Year award and local and national awards for access for disabled visitors.
The lovely mediaeval market town of Saffron Walden is on our doorstep, with a fine parish church and two mazes!
