Coggeshall is a pretty town that boasts almost 200 listed buildings, including many beautiful timber-framed Tudor buildings. There are lots of attractions in and around the town including the magnificent St Peter ad Vincula (known as the 'wool church'), Paycockes House, the Grange Barn, and the remains of the former abbey. There are a couple of decent pubs, plenty of places for food, shops, and more, making it a good choice for a pit-stop.
