Great Baddow is a large, lively village on the edge of Chelmsford in Essex, where old meets new in that quietly effortless way only Essex villages seem to manage. With its mix of charming cottages, handy local shops, green open spaces and strong sense of community, it's no surprise that it's become a bit of a favourite for families and commuters alike. It's close enough to the city to feel connected, but far enough out to enjoy a more relaxed, village pace of life.

The village has roots that run deep, with mentions in the Domesday Book and a history that weaves together farming, river trade and, later, a strong industrial presence. The church of St Mary is a central landmark, parts of which date back to the 12th century, and the Great Baddow Millennium Centre sits just nearby, continuing the tradition of community gathering. In the 20th century, the village became known for its connections to Marconi and the early days of British radar research. You'll still spot references to that past around the place, particularly near the looming Chain Home radar tower, now a listed structure and a bit of a landmark in its own right.

There's plenty to enjoy in and around Great Baddow. The Vineyards shopping precinct acts as the village's main hub, with a good selection of shops, cafés and local services. The Rec offers green space for football, cricket, or just a relaxed afternoon on the grass, and there are plenty of footpaths leading out into the surrounding countryside. A short drive brings you to RHS Garden Hyde Hall – a real treat if you're into beautifully kept gardens and seasonal colour. For National Trust outings, Danbury Common and Blake's Wood offer peaceful walking routes, while English Heritage's St John's Abbey Gate in Colchester and the remains at Witham Lodge are within easy reach for a bit of historical exploring.

Across Essex, there's always something worth seeing. Colchester has that unbeatable mix of ancient Roman walls, castle grounds and a lively high street. Head to Maldon for boat-spotting and estuary walks, or down to Southend for the full seaside package – arcades, a long pier, fish and chips and a bit of bracing sea air. Saffron Walden is all cobbles and charm, while Finchingfield's village green could be straight off a postcard. Essex isn't all coastline and country lanes, though – Chelmsford brings plenty of modern buzz, with riverside walks, shopping, events and a growing foodie scene.

Getting to Great Baddow is nice and simple. Chelmsford station is only a few minutes away by car or bus, offering direct trains to London Liverpool Street in under 40 minutes. The A12 runs just past the village, linking you up with the M25 to the south and Colchester and beyond to the north. For flights, London Stansted is the closest major airport – about a half-hour drive – while Southend Airport is also within easy reach. Local buses run frequently into Chelmsford and neighbouring towns, and once you're in Great Baddow, the village itself is compact enough to walk around comfortably.

Essex as a whole is much more than the clichés suggest. It's a county that packs a lot into a fairly small space – rolling farmland, ancient woodland, long stretches of coastline and towns that blend heritage with modern life. You can visit Roman ruins one day and a vineyard the next, stroll through forests or along seaside promenades, and always be just a short hop from something different. It's a county full of contrast, character and stories, and the villages like Great Baddow really show off its best side.
