Essex
The land of the eastern Saxons, that is how Essex was named. Found in the
South East of England the county covers an area of some 1,417 square miles
and in Harwich provides a direct link, albeit over the sea, to Holland and
the continent of Europe.
The main towns and cities of Essex are Chelmsford, the administration centre
of Essex, Colchester, known in Roman times as Camulodunum, Harwich, Tilbury,
Clacton and Southend-on-Sea.
Colchester was the earliest recorded Roman town in England and, despite
being destroyed by Bodicea and the Iceni tribes, remains a garrison town to
this day.
