Close by, the ancient market town of Maldon has a wide range of shops and places to eat out. Its historic High Street sits at the top of a hill, filled with independent shops and favourite high street names. A weekly market takes place, as well as a monthly farmers and makers market that brings together local produce and handmade products.
Maldon District is known worldwide for its sea salt, oysters and Tiptree jam, thanks to its exceptional local producers and farmers. Given this, it is no surprise the area offers plenty of great places to eat and drink, from gastro pubs, tea-rooms and waterfront restaurants to micro-breweries and acclaimed vineyards.
For a wider choice of shops and places to go out, Chelmsford, Lakeside Shopping Centre and East London’s Westfield Stratford City are easily reached.
