Sawbridgeworth is a small town, situated between Harlow and Bishop's Stortford. In the Domesday Book, the Manor of "Sabrixteworde" was considered one of the most valuable estates in the county and given by William the Conqueror to Geoffrey de Mandeville after the Battle of Hastings. The town is popular with commuters thanks to its fast rail links to London's Liverpool Street. The staple industry of 'malting' was behind Sawbridgeworth's steady prosperity, coupled with 18th century river transport. Today, the River Stort provides attractive riverside walks, and regular cruises run from Sawbridgeworth during the summer months.
