Essex has more going for it than the stereotypes suggest — Dedham Vale (Constable Country) along the Stour Valley is some of the most recognisable English countryside in the world, Mersea Island is accessible only at low tide and produces oysters that end up in London restaurants, Colchester is England’s oldest recorded town (a Roman colonia) and the coastal marshes and estuaries of south Essex are a proper RSPB stronghold.
Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight spots across Essex — from the Constable Country north to the coast around Mersea and Clacton.
