Chipping Ongar is a charming little market town tucked away in the Essex countryside, full of character and old-world appeal. With its historic high street, cosy pubs and independent shops, it offers that lovely slower pace of life that's getting harder to find. It's the kind of place where you can walk from end to end without breaking a sweat, yet still find something interesting around every corner—be it a timber-framed tea room or the start of a countryside footpath heading off into the fields.

This town's been around a while. It gets its name from the Old English “Chipping” meaning ‘market' and “Ongar” meaning ‘grazing land'. It was once an important stop on the way out from London towards East Anglia, and you can still see evidence of its medieval past in the street layout and historic buildings. Ongar Castle, now a peaceful earthwork, was once a Norman motte-and-bailey stronghold, and the town has long held a market, which formed the backbone of its early prosperity. It also had a railway station as early as the 1860s, which added to its appeal as a place to live and trade.

In terms of attractions, Chipping Ongar punches above its weight. The Epping Ongar Railway is a real gem, offering vintage steam and diesel train rides through the local countryside—great fun for families and history buffs alike. The high street is packed with character, from cafés and bakeries to antique shops and florists, all set among listed buildings and old coaching inns. Just outside the town you've got Greensted Church, the oldest wooden church in the world, which is well worth a visit. Nearby National Trust sites like Paycocke's House in Coggeshall and the beautifully preserved Grange Barn offer proper history and atmosphere, while English Heritage's Mountfitchet Castle and Norman Village isn't too far either—perfect for a family day out.

Across the wider Essex landscape, there's loads to explore. Colchester gives you Roman walls, a proper castle and a lively high street. Dedham Vale offers chocolate-box countryside and walking routes that feel like stepping into a painting. Head south for Southend's famous pier, fish and chips, and arcades, or pop over to Maldon for its estuary walks and quirky blend of history and maritime life. Chelmsford's got shopping, bars and green space in good measure, while Saffron Walden brings the medieval charm with a modern twist. Whether you fancy coastlines, castles or cosy corners, there's something to suit.

Chipping Ongar isn't directly on the main rail network anymore, but it's still easy to reach. The M11, A414 and A128 all pass nearby, so road access is a doddle whether you're heading from London or deeper into Essex. The Epping Ongar Railway links up with the London Underground's Central Line at Epping, and there are regular bus services connecting Ongar with Brentwood, Harlow, and Chelmsford. If you're flying in, Stansted is your best bet—about 30 minutes' drive—while London City Airport is still within reach for those coming from further afield. It's that perfect mix of countryside charm with decent connections.

Essex as a county is often misjudged, but anyone who's spent time here knows it's full of surprises. You'll find Tudor manor houses, riverside towns, ancient forests and bucket-and-spade beaches, all within an hour of each other. The variety is part of the appeal—some bits feel deeply rural, while others buzz with modern life. There's Roman heritage, Saxon churches, and enough local quirks to keep things interesting. It's a place where history and progress sit side by side, and there's plenty of room to stretch your legs, whether you're after mud, marshes or market squares.
