Towns and Villages in Braintree District & North Essex

Belchamp Walter

With colourful, bustling market towns and picturesque villages set in beautiful rolling countryside, look no further than north Essex to get away from it all and rediscover the rural heart of the county ....

North Essex is largely rural with many small villages and tiny hamlets, driving along our winding country lanes you will pass thatched cottages, listed buildings, patchwork fields, colourful markets, and ancient windmills, showing England at its best.  With less the average rainfall and higher than average sunshine, why not stay awhile and see our Essex towns and villages for yourself?
