Days Out Essex & Things To Do UK

Essex is a county lying in the east of England, not far from London. It is one on the larger counties of England, measuring over 1400 square miles. Like its northern neighbours, Norfolk and Suffolk, Essex is fairly flat but has many pretty country lanes and historical towns.

The town of Southend-on-Sea is a popular destination for traditional seaside fun, particularly with east Londoners. Essex also has marshlands, known as Saltings, which are home to many wading birds.
