There are air shows, sailing weeks, jazz festivals, and classic car runs. Morris dancers gather in Thaxted and Finchingfield, with its duck pond and green, is said to be the most photographed village in Britain. The County town is Chelmsford, midway between London and the East Coast. When the Mayflower left from Plymouth in 1620, many of the Pilgrim Fathers it carried came from Essex, and a poignant link to the US remains in the War Memorials dedicated to the memory of USAAF men based in the county during WWII.
Essex offers wonderful village pubs, and cosmopolitan selection of foods of the world in Southend on Sea, with plenty of teashops and restaurants for all tastes. Also worth viewing are the villages for unique arts and crafts galleries, while the larger towns have a huge choice of shopping malls, chain stores and local markets.
