ESSEX regularly features close to the top in surveys of the best places to live in the UK, and it is not hard to see why.

Its booming economy, which weathered the 2008 recession more robustly than almost any other region, contributes to a high  level of prosperity. It has some of the fastest
and most dependable transport links to the heart of London. Yet it remains famous for its high proportion of unspoilt countryside and its beautiful coastline – the longest
of any English county.

Perhaps the greatest recommendation of all, however, is the infectious warmth and openness of the people who live in this lucky county.
