Location focus boydens.co.uk Essex offers a fantastic quality of life; with acres of open countryside, top visitor attractions, fast transport links to the capital, as well as top schools and business opportunities, it’s clear to see why so many people call Essex ‘home’. We invited Visit Essex to tell us more about what makes the area so special, focusing on Braintree and the surrounding area… 52 THIS IS ESSEX – MAKE IT YOURS! Amble Around Explore the Flitch Way, which stretches almost 15 miles along the track of the former railway line between Braintree and Bishop’s Stortford. Today, the flat and well-surfaced route is a favourite with joggers, cyclists, dog-walkers, families, and in some sections – horse riders – looking to escape the hustle and bustle. Get Active Families love heading over to Great Notley Country Park, which covers 100 acres of open space. Explore the 1.2km play trail featuring a giant see-saw, climbing forest, tyre swings, sand play area, rope climbers, slides, forts and much more. There’s also a Sky Ropes experience where you can swing, climb and jump around the high-wire course.
