The farm is ideally situated for trips to Cambridge, Saffron Walden, Bishop's Stortford, Duxford, London (35 minutes by train) and for the business or holiday traveller using Stansted Airport. There are ample parking facilities on the farm. A continental breakfast is available for early leavers.

  Puttocks is a working, arable farm of 117 acres. We grow wheat, oilseed rape, beans and potatoes.  Until 2003 we raised beef cattle but now our only animals are our rabbit and our Labrador dog - Jasper.  The name Puttocks is derived from 'Puddar', which means 'on a hill'. You can take a walk through the country lanes, keeping an eye out for the deer and muntjac that regularly pass through the farm. 

  There are many beautiful and interesting places to visit locally: 
The Countess of Warwick's Easton Lodge with its lakes and leafy walks
Hatfield Forest
the stately home of Audley End
Duxford Imperial War Museum
Stansted Mountfitchet Castle
Great Dunmow Museum
Freeport Shopping Village. 
You can also explore the pretty villages and towns with ancient churches, windmills and monuments. 

  Great Dunmow is the home of the famous Flitch Trials, held every four years, in which married couples compete for a flitch (side) of bacon by proving to a court that they have not wished themselves unwed for a whole year! The next Trials are due to be held on 12 July 2012.
