Home to an estimated 1,688,400 people and located in the south east of England, Essex owes its name to the old English word 'Eastseaxe' meaning East Saxsons, dating back to the Anglo Saxon period.
Founded in 527 AD by Aescwine, the Kingdom of Essex once occupied the north of the river Thames, which at a later date became Hertfordshire and Middlesex. Restrictions evolved specifically to the eastern part of the land, including the river Lee and the United Kingdom's oldest town on record, Colchester. As a result, the Kingdom of Essex became its own historic county within the Kingdom of England.
Easily accessed via Car Hire and located only 1 mile from Audley End station is the delightful market town of Saffron Walden, which still shows traces of the medieval England. It's here that you can take a step backing history and admire the architecture of Essex whilst browsing the charming town's many market stalls.
If looking for a more modern day Essex, you will find many alternatives. Join the ever increasing trend of paintballing, play a round of golf at one of the city's best golf courses or maybe drive down to the Essex Coast for a spot of sea kayaking
