Introduction
We rode our usual route to Saffron Walden and we had lunch at the Old English Gentleman. We cycled to Ashdon (113th) and then to Bartlow (114th) returning via Linton, Little Abington and Babraham. A total of about 65km (41 miles).
Ashdon (Essex)
Single sided - "Ascenduna 1086" at the bottom refers to the name of the village in the Domesday Book. The medieval scene shows a tree, shepherd with sheep, lambs and dog, man with pitchfork and a woman with basket. Flowers in circles next to the name.
