The town of Basildon is situated in the heart of Essex, 25 miles east of Central London and 11 miles south of Chelmsford. Once a series of villages, the modern town was established in 1948 and benefits from a range of facilities making Basildon the perfect base to explore the Essex area.
Visit the Wat Tyler Country Park and enjoy 125 acres of beautiful parkland in the heart of the Essex marshes. By renting a car in Basildon and taking a 2 mile drive, the park offers family friendly woodland walks and a visitor centre with a great café for a well-earned rest.
