Police and fire officials in Saffron Walden are investigating after a caravan parked in a lay-by caught fire.
The mobile home was situated on the B1383 when flames took hold of it on New Year's Day at around 14:30, Saffron Walden Weekly News reported.
Local police officer Paul Curtis told the newspaper that it was unclear why the caravan had caught fire, but that it appeared to have been in a well-kept condition.
He revealed that the blaze was well underway when fire crews arrived on the scene but "fortunately there were no cylinders involved and the incident was dealt with in just over an hour".
Caravan enthusiasts heading to the area could stay at Home Farm Fishery in Little Walden, which ukcampsite.co.uk describes as "simply outstanding" for those with a passion for fishing.
