About
Nestled in the heart of Essex, just 28 miles east of London, Billericay is a historic market town that blends rich heritage with modern charm. With roots tracing back to Roman times and a notable connection to the Mayflower Pilgrims. Chantry House was the 17th C. home of Christopher Martin, treasurer to the Pilgrim Fathers.
Nearby is Norsey Wood Nature Reserve an ancient woodland, where the town played a role in the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381. Spanning over 165 acres, the wood is rich in biodiversity, with towering oak and hornbeam trees, vibrant wildflowers, and a variety of wildlife including deer, foxes, and birds. In spring whether you're enjoying a peaceful walk or capturing the magic on camera, the bluebell season at Norsey Wood is a must-see highlight.
Visitors can stroll through the High Street's cozy cafés, and independent shops, or unwind in the scenic Lake Meadows Park, which features a tranquil lake, playgrounds, and sports facilities.
Tucked away in the Essex countryside, Downham Hall offers a peaceful and luxurious retreat just a short drive from Billericay.
