Description: | Peter talks about his home-town’s identity and compares it with other local towns. Cambridge is a city to the northwest of Saffron Walden. Royston (to the west), Newmarket (to the north) and Haverhill (to the northeast) are nearby towns. Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea (both to the southeast) are larger towns in Essex. The M11 is the motorway that links London to Cambridge and runs north-south just to the west of Saffron Walden.
