following list of self-catering accommodation is in Essex and is available for

way to green fields, farmland and villages. Constable Country in the north of
Essex is a wonderfully picturesque place to visit, as is Colchester with its Roman history,
the Essex coastline and seaside resorts are big attractions. Chelmsford is the
main town - Essex currently being the only county without an officially recognised
city - although Chelmsford does have a cathedral. There are plenty of opportunities for recreation in Essex with numerous country
parks and woodland walks in addition to tourist attractions and organised leisure
facilities. Click here for more information about accommodation
