Attractions In Essex

Our Essex hotels are on the Essex/Suffolk borders, whose magnificent skies were captured in paintings by Constable and Gainsborough. Timbered houses, moated manors and fine church towers enrich towns and villages which prospered from wool and weaving in medieval times. Further south, on the Thames estuary, reclaimed marshland provides a haven for wildlife and the inlets of the Blackwater and Crouch rivers provide havens for yachts and pleasure craft. In addition there are several houses and gardens to visit as well as Roman antiquities at Colchester.
