Touring Stansted with a Car Hire

If you are staying in Stansted, there are a few places worth visiting before heading off to see the rest of the country.

For a great insight into the history of the area, drive your rental car up to the Mountfitchet Castle, a reconstructed castle dating back to the 1200's. The area had over the years been home to Saxons, Normans, Romans and Vikings, leading to great history and amazing tales to be heard. Not far from the castle, you can visit the House on the Hill Toy Museum, one of the largest toy museums in Europe. With over 80,000 toys on display, there are examples of 19th century dolls through to toys of the 1970s and 80s.

Take a short scenic drive east of Stansted in your rental car, and visit the town of Colchester, also a place of historical importance. Colchester Castle dates back almost 1000 years, and at the time of construction was one of the biggest castles ever built in Britain. The castle became open to the public in the late 19th century, and today houses a museum with displays on the history of the area as far back as the stone age.

For a longer day trip, jump in your rental car and head north to Cambridge. A famous university city, Cambridge has a strong history of world class education, and there are plenty of well preserved buildings as well as museums to visit. Alternatively, head south to London. Visit Big Ben, London Bridge and Buckingham Palace, all within a comfortable drive of Stansted. The best part of staying in Stansted is unwinding at the end of the day, in nice peaceful surroundings away from all the stresses of city life.
