If you are thinking of moving to Essex, you will be pleased to know that there are plenty of things to see and do both in and around Essex. Thanks to the size, location and geography of the county, there’s a huge diversity to the places where people live.
The border with London is fairly densely populated, and the South Essex Thames Gateway is an area of real economic growth. This southern part of the county is very different to the large rural areas of mid and north Essex – almost 75% of the county’s land area is rolling farmland.

Essex offers an inspirational mix of things to do – some may be on your radar and some may be a complete surprise. But they are all guaranteed to wow you, to give you a different perspective or to make you feel special.
Good schools and a great quality of life make Essex a big draw for families. The open space and coast make a great natural playground, with parkland, country trails and rockpools to enjoy.
