The official start & arrivee is The Battesford Court Wetherspoons pub in Newland Street, good location for breakfast before and post ride refreshments. Early lunch or warming tea/coffee & cake at the the Lordship Tea Room in Writtle. Control at The Compasses in Littley Green and maybe pause for a refreshment. Call in to the Cressing Temple Barns for afternoon cake, a location heavily steeped in Knights Templar legend. Passing a Square & Compasses, narrowly missing a second Compasses and passing a third gives a full house of compasses pubs on this Essex Mystery tour.
There will be car parking available at The Labour Hall, Collingwood Road CM8 2EE. A £1 donation to be collected on the day which represents excellent value for money for all day parking in Witham. Frequent train services from London (check for strikes and engineering works) and Norwich/Ipswich/Colchester can also get you to Witham with minimum fuss.
