Chafford Hundred is one of those places that often catches people off guard. Set just outside Grays in the south of Essex, it's a modern, well-connected town that grew rapidly through the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Built with commuters and families in mind, it's packed with green spaces, family homes, and local shops, all laid out with a neatness that contrasts the older towns nearby. There's a strong community feel, with everything you need within easy reach, and it's just far enough from the hustle to feel calm without feeling cut off.

The history of Chafford Hundred is a relatively recent one in terms of development, but the name itself harks back to ancient administrative divisions used in Saxon times. It was once open countryside, dotted with farmland and gravel pits. The transformation began in earnest in the 1980s and accelerated through the ‘90s when large housing estates, schools, and local amenities were introduced. The Lakeside area became a major retail hub, and with that came new transport links and infrastructure, helping to turn what was once quiet rural land into a thriving modern suburb.

There's more to do in Chafford Hundred than you might expect. The Chafford Gorges Nature Park is a proper local highlight, full of woodland trails, water features, and wildlife – a peaceful escape right in the heart of the community. For shopping and entertainment, Lakeside Shopping Centre is just over the road, with high-street names, restaurants, and a big cinema complex. Nearby, you've got Rainham Hall, a National Trust property tucked into a residential street with lovely gardens and a cosy café. English Heritage's Tilbury Fort is a short drive away too – a solid bit of history right on the Thames. Thurrock Museum in Grays is worth a look if you're into local heritage, and the surrounding area's packed with nature reserves and riverside walks.

Further afield, Essex really opens up. Head north for pretty towns like Maldon, with its riverside charm and old-fashioned prom, or Colchester for castles and Roman walls. Mersea Island serves up seafood with sea views, and Dedham Vale's countryside walks are straight out of a painting. There are vineyards dotted about, open gardens in summer, and enough market towns, stately homes and quiet lanes to fill a few weekends. Essex offers the lot – coast, countryside, culture – if you've got the time and the inclination.

Getting to and from Chafford Hundred's pretty straightforward. There's a train station with direct links to London Fenchurch Street via the c2c line, which makes it ideal for commuters. By road, the A13 runs nearby and links up with the M25, so you're never too far from London or the rest of the South East. If you're flying in or out, London City Airport is around 20 miles away and perfect for short hops, while Stansted and Southend airports are both within an hour's drive depending on which direction you're headed. Buses connect the area to nearby towns, and Lakeside itself acts as a local transport hub, so getting around isn't a hassle.

Essex is one of those counties that surprises you once you dig a bit deeper. It's often lumped into clichés, but look past that and you'll find loads of variety. There's ancient history in the north, seaside fun along the coast, sprawling countryside in between, and modern town centres that have kept pace with the times. The people are down-to-earth, there's a proper mix of old and new, and you can go from Roman ruins to a designer outlet in under an hour. It's a county that doesn't shout about itself too much, but it's got plenty to offer once you get stuck in.
