A beautiful county with charming towns and easy connections to London
Essex is one of the most desirable places to live in the country. A county of contrasts, full of possibilities.
On the one hand you have exciting towns and cities such as Chelmsford and Colchester; thriving urban centres with great shopping, and lively nightlife.
You don’t have to go far to see that Essex is still a rural county. To the north, you find the Stour Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In the south, there is the ancient Epping Forest. Between these areas, there are fields, rivers, woods, and small market towns and villages.
Perfect for the whole family
Essex has the longest coastline in the country, with 350 miles of sandy beaches, saltmarshes, estuaries and mudflats. This offers many chances for different leisure activities and family fun days at the beach.
Southend has the longest pleasure pier in the world. You can also watch nature, take long walks, or try sailing and other watersports.
When you get hungry, there are many great restaurants in the county where Jamie Oliver grew up. They offer a variety of delicious food styles.
Essex has excellent schools known for their high academic standards. These schools provide supportive environments and creative programs. This makes Essex a great place for families who value quality education for their children.
