Travel Information and nearby accommodation

One of the finest medieval barns in England, Widdington Prior's Hall Barn was built in the mid 15th century, and consists of a central section with aisles to either side. The whole is supported by an amazing system of crown post timber framing. It took an estimated 400 oak trees to create the barn structure.
