Beneath the quiet charm of Saffron Walden, revolutionaries once rallied by ancient walls and artists secretly sketched their rebellion in oil and ink. Uncover what really happened in these cobbled streets with this self-guided audio tour—a journey where every corner hides stories most travelers overlook.

Who set fire to ambitions within the ruins of Walden Castle during a long-forgotten uprising? Why did a painter at the Fry Art Gallery cloak an unsolved enigma inside brushstrokes? What links a ramshackle football pitch to a scandal that still whispers on match days?

Move through alleyways scented with saffron and past timeworn stones that once shook with political intrigue. Let each stop immerse you in drama and secret histories, shifting your view of the town from quaint to electrifying.

Hit play and peel back the surface of Saffron Walden—where whispers of rebellion, artistry and scandal still echo.
