Why not try...
Stuck for inspiration? There's plenty to do nearby!
If you haven't been already, Linton Zoo is well worth a visit, and Chilford Hall regularly holds a number of trade fairs where you can usually pick up a bargain.
Slightly further afield there's the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, Audley End House and Gardens and Wimpole Hall and Wimpole Home Farm.
And of course we mustn't forget Cambridge, with its museums, colleges, shops and markets, and Saffron Walden, another nearby market town with much to offer.
