Discover how easy it is to get around Essex

Visiting and getting around Essex is never a hassle. Because it borders London it has an excellent rail and bus network. And its modern infrastructure also makes it so easy to get around by car, bicycle and to arrive by boat or plane.

Essex is always open. Whether you arrive via the M25, M11 or A12 by car, bus or coach – take the train with Greater Anglia, C2C or Stansted Express – land at one of its two bustling airports at Stansted and Southend – or by sea at its international ports of Harwich and Tilbury… the only difficulty is deciding what to do when you get here – but that’s where we can help!

And if you are feeling energetic why not take in the fresh air, see the sights and get closer to nature on your bike? Check out our cycling page for more information on cycle paths and travelling sustainably.
