Stansted Mountfitchet

Best known for its airport, this small town owes its earlier importance to a castle built here by the Mountfitchet family. The extensive earthworks are now home to the world´s only reconstructed motte and bailey castle. The main part of the town is grouped along a hill. The town has an 18th century windmill. There is a Farmers' Market at nearby Ugley on the 3rd Saturday of the month.
