Saffron Walden takes the second part of its name from the threatening fortification of Walden Castle, erected by the Normans after the Conquest, and the first from the rare and precious saffron crocus, for which the town became famous, used in medicine, cooking and as the source of a rich yellow dye. Appropriately, therefore, Saffron Hotel lives up to its name by the warm, rich, cheerful yellow of its frontage. Dating back to the 16th century, the hotel is at the centre of this quintessentially English market town. Areas serviced: Bristol Northwww.saffronhotel.co.ukKingscote, GL8 8XZ
