Ashdon Village Museum is a small, volunteer-run museum in north Essex telling the story of the local village's history. You can browse the exhibits and then relax in the tea room, where volunteers serve fresh pots of tea and a selection of cakes, making it a pleasant spot to pause and chat about what you've seen. It's best visited on a Sunday or Bank Holiday afternoon between Easter and the end of October, when it's open from 2-5pm; note that only cash is accepted for refreshments. Groups of 10 or more can arrange extra opening hours by contacting the museum in advance. If you're staying near Cambridge, there are 16 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, with Great Chesterford station 5 miles away for those travelling by train.
