Best cities to visit in Essex

Colchester: This town is the oldest in all of England and used to be the capital of Britain under Roman rule. Visit the 11th-century castle and the gardens in Castle Park. There’s also a museum containing finds from the city’s Roman excavation sites.

Southend-on-Sea: This town is super popular for day trips by tourists and locals alike. Enjoy a day on the beach and walk along the world’s longest pier—more than a mile long. The Adventure Island park is right next to the pier.

Saffron Walden: This medieval market town is just a short distance from Cambridge. The market operates on Tuesdays and Saturdays and has been in operation since the 12th century. Stroll down Myddylton Place and Castle Street to admire quaint and colorful old buildings.

Summer 2025 in Essex

Summer in Essex is the perfect time to hit the beach in Southend-on-Sea. This is virtually the only time the weather and the water will be warm enough for swimming and sunbathing, so be sure to take advantage! You may also want to visit the Audley End House and Garden in Saffron Walden, as the gardens will be in full bloom at this time.
