Chelmsford lies north east of London within its commuter belt, just 30 miles from the capital. It is in fact the county town of Essex, attracting commuters from the City and Docklands areas due to its 30-minute commute time. In 2012 it was granted city status itself to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee.
In the city centre two shopping mall packed with household high street names are accompanied by exciting, quirky independent boutiques. There are also plenty of places to put your feet up and grab a bite to eat or enjoy a tea or coffee. Bars and pubs offer up something a little stronger alongside local craft beers. Impressive architecture gives the city its character – with grand stone buildings and Victorian and Tudor houses.
There are a number of outstanding attractions to enjoy during your visit – if cricket’s your thing, why not catch a game at the iconic County Ground, home to Essex’s County Cricket Club?
