Thaxted - 30 January 2010
One of the delights of winter is walking on a frosty morning over wet farmland, frozen solid.
We needed to give our flat battery a good run, so decided to visit Thaxted,
Thaxted is totally delightful. A colourful High Street, with the painted pargetted and timber framed buildings leading the eye to the large, elaborate church, past a very stylish 14th century Guildhall. Behind the village is a windmill, still in working order.
Our 9 mile circular walk turned back at Great Easton, a smaller, but quite charming village, set around a green.
The day was mild, despite the frost, and stayed sunny all day; one of winter's gems.
