Mountfitchet Group.

We didn't have enough time to visit London, so we looked for something nearby and found Mountfitchet Castle. It was one of the best decisions we made! It's just a short bus ride from Stansted and was such a lovely, relaxing day out. The medieval castle and village are really interesting, with lots to explore. The animals roaming around made it even more special, and the dinosaur area was a big hit with the kids. Such a unique place that's fun for both children and adults. If you're staying near Stansted Airport and don't have time to go into London, I'd definitely recommend spending a few hours here. We had a fantastic day!

I love visiting this place, it is very interesting learning about the Norman life. The castle and village are very well detailed. I highly recommend buying the animal feed it is a lovely experience feeding the deer, goats and chickens. There are lots of things you can interact with around the village. Children can also go around looking for stamps to collect in various locations, my daughter enjoyed doing that. The toy museum is very nostalgic and worth a look around. This is a fab place for a day out.

Amazing time spending with family. If you want to feel the histury while in connection with nature and feed animals or watch peacocks while having your lunch, then you need to come here.

First time visiting the mountfitchet today, I was really surprised by how interactive it was. The animals roam freely and are tame enough to eat from your hands which was a fun experience. There are games dotted about the village, like archery and mini slingshots. The staff were all very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us, answering all sorts of questions we had! The toy museum is amazing a real nostalgia trip! I would really recommend visiting, and we will be visiting again! The only issue I had was that it is not very pram friendly as it’s quite hilly, I say issue we were still able to get our pram around, some tight corners, cobbled flooring and steep slopes! It didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves though. If using maps to get there it will take you straight into the car park, you can park for how ever long you want for different prices. Very easy to find, and there was enough spaces to be able to park!

This place was excellent. Really good fun to just walk around. Informative, interesting and there were loads of chickens and ducks and stuff. Well worth a visit if you have kids or if not.
