Finchingfield is a textbook example of a traditional English village, settled in the county of Essex in the Braintree district. Winning awards for its picturesque setting, Finchingfield appears on many calendars, chocolate boxes and jigsaws thanks to being home to colour-washed cottages, thatched roofs, a windmill and a medieval church. There are three pubs in the village, along with two tearooms and two restaurants, as well as two antiques shops and a local Post Office and store combined. Visit the 18th century Finchingfield Post Mill and climb up the first two floors to see the inner workings of this classic landmark. Nearby attractions include the Colne Valley Railway offering a journey on a vintage locomotive through picturesque countryside, the Ridgewell Airfield Commemorative Museum, and the delights of Braintree such at Great Notley Country Park and Braintree District Museum.
