A visit to the stunning English Heritage Audley End House is a must and there are many concerts held there on the summer, you can also hop on a train to London for the theatre or retail therapy.

Do you want to get out and explore? A 25-minute drive will take you to Bishops Stortford, Stansted Mountfichet Castle or the glorious village green and duck pond at Finchingfield. A little further and you can be in Great Dunmow. The city of Cambridge can be easily reached, being only 15 miles away.

A visit to the historic town of Colchester has something for everyone, including a castle, museums, cinema, theatres, leisure centre and the famous Colchester Zoo.
For a day at the coast, a trip to Mersea will not disappoint. Mersea gets cut off for about an hour when there is a very high tide, so it’s worthwhile checking the tides. It is a beautiful island with lots of coastal and nature walks, seafood restaurants serving the famous Mersea oysters, delis, takeaways, a supermarket and child-friendly pubs with craft beer. Why not visit Mersea Island vineyard and brewery where a beer festival is held at Easter and you can buy real ale, wines and even Mersea Island Gin? The Mersea Regatta, which has been running since 1838, is held every August and should not be missed.
