You've got choices here, either a pub stop and short walk on the green or a wonderful river walk (dry days only) from a car park just outside the village and the option of driving up to the village...
I stumbled on this fabulously dog-friendly pub almost like a miracle.
If you've not explored much of Essex, this almost secret countryside is well worth a visit. The dog walk here crosses the River Stort, a very unspoiled waterway that rises and ends entirely in Essex.
Convenient dog and child-friendly pub to use for a meeting up, or to take a break before getting into Cambridge itself.
When only Thai food will do, and you're driving on the A10. Dog-friendly and good with kids.
