Essex Attractions

Essex is packed with attractions. Whether you prefer historic buildings, like Audley End House, or glorious gardens, castles or forts, museums or antique centres, play centres or  steam railway you will surely find it in our county. Essex is said to be like little England; whatever you associate England with, you will find it is Essex only on a smaller scale! I can't think of a better desciption of Essex.
