Saffron Walden is a market town in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England. Saffron Walden is 12 miles north of Bishop's Stortford, 18 miles south of Cambridge and 43 miles north of London. The town retains a rural appearance and some buildings dating from the medieval period.
Saffron Walden was at the centre of the Eastern Association during the English Civil War. While the town was the headquarters of the New Model Army, Lieutenant-General of Horse, Oliver Cromwell paid a 19-day visit in May 1647, taking part in debates to seek a settlement between Parliament and the army. Saffron Walden's unofficial coat of arms showed the saffron crocus within the walls of the castle in the form of an heraldic pun – as in, Saffron walled-in. In 1961, a formal coat of arms was granted by the College of Arms and this was adapted in 1974 into its current form.
The 12th-century Walden Castle, built or expanded by Geoffrey de Mandeville, the first Earl of Essex is in ruins. After the medieval period, the castle fell into disuse and much of the flint was taken and used in the construction of local houses and the wall surrounding the Audley End estate. All that remains is the ruined basement.
Near to the castle is a turf maze, a series of circular excavations cut into the turf of the common. It is the largest example of this style of maze in England, the main part is about 100 feet (30 m) in diameter. The earliest record of it dates from 1699, although its origin may be earlier. It has been extensively restored several times, most recently in 1979.
Saffron Walden is served by Audley End railway station, which is located 2 miles (3 km) outside the town in the village of Wendens Ambo, with regular bus services to the town centre. The station is on the West Anglia mainline service between Cambridge and London Liverpool Street Station, with an off-peak service of two trains an hour, southbound and northbound, and more services during peak times. Saffron Walden is accessed from junction 8 of the M11 travelling from London (a distance of about 15 miles (24 km)) and from junction 10 travelling from the Cambridge direction (8 miles (13 km)). Stansted Airport is some 15 miles (24 km) from the town, while Luton Airport is 43 miles (69 km) away.

Dragonfly Hedge Maze | Cotswolds, England
The Dragonfly Maze is a yew maze with an interesting twist. Not only do you want to find the center, you must also search for fourteen tiles that hold clues to finding the Golden Dragonfly. The solution took some thought and we were all surprised by the artistry of the center pavilion. The animal tiles inside the center and the mirrored cabinet containing (among other mysterious clues) a large, bronze, clockwork toad were all designed by Kit Williams.
Safron Walden Castle edit with no corrections
Here we go with the final clip of the Saffron Walden castle (keep).
Still getting to grips, slowly with Sony Vegas so do apologies for the slight blurring or blending issues at the start, it will get better trust me. Once again, a huge thanks to my chum Andy, tk42138 for his help getting me started in Vegas Pro. As stated the footage is as it came out of the Mavic Air, only changed the camera settings, oh and used a ND32 filter to be able to film in 24fps to achieve some motion blur.
Music from, epidemic sounds
Drone, Mavic Air (dji)
Filmed in 2k @ 24fps with ND 32 filter from Ultimax.
