Located in East of England, Essex is one of the so-called home counties. Its largest settlements are Southend-on-Sea, Colchester, and Basildon.
While the name Essex may nowadays be more synonymous with reality TV, the county has an abundance of interesting activities and sights that draw people to the area. You can immerse yourself in the 2400-hectare ancient woodland of Epping Forest or take in the beautiful Essex coastline at Walton-on-the-Naze. Because of its mild climate, Essex is also an ideal area for wine growing, and wine has been produced in the area since the Roman times. Today, Essex is home to over 50 vineyards across the county, including New Hall Vineyard; one of the oldest vineyards in Britain.
