There is indeed some beautiful countryside in Essex, it is a lovely county and much underrated. I live just over the border into Hertfordshire, which is also lovely, but I spend a lot of time in Essex. Chelmsford and Colchester are great towns to visit, but there is a great deal of open countryside all around. I also like the area around Maldon.

No so good for the dogs, we left ours in the car and popped out every so often, but Colchester Zoo is well worth a visit. Easily spend a day there......

I love this thread! I moved from Hornchurch in Essex to North Wales 17 years ago and I'm now planning to come home. Can't wait.

Walton on the Naze us a lovely walk along the coast (eyes down and you're pretty much guaranteed to find at least one shark's tooth.
Walton has a proper pie and mash shop that we travel 45 mins just to visit.
Clacton has an outlet village.
Chelmsford for ice skating.
Colchester has the castle museum and toy museum plus typical town centre shops. There's also a good swimming pool with flumes.
You won't be all that far from Dedham and Flatford which are both lovely riverside walks with rowing boat hire. If weather permits,you can swim in the river at dedham (left after the bridge from the car park to keep away from boats).
Huge boot sale at Ardleigh if you're into that kind of thing...
