Quite a nice place and on the edge of some good countryside and riding. Some pretty good advice already — as a rough rule I would say draw a line north south through chelmsford and then try and head as far east and north that your journey times will allow.
With the exception of witham, the further east you go the better essex gets. Beautiful estuaries and coastline, pretty remote too. Off road is suprisingly good although not technical, road biking good too. Perfect xc and cx terrain. This is all great information, thanks. Any feedback on that area? Anywhere but Canvey Island would be my advice.
Billericay is nice and has a Waitrose and is the only part south of the A I would recommend. Did several years of site visits in that part of the world. Definitely avoid Basvegas and any associated parts. The arterial corridor is pretty built up for obvious reasons. My dad lives in Rayleigh and I grew up in thundersley so I know those parts are ok but nothing special. Maldon would be a nice commute for your gf but not for you.
It is well serviced though with an easy train commute to chelmsford. Reasonable town with a market square and older centre, like a lot of places it is surrounded by retail park nonesense but hey, you could do worse. There is a good mountaineering club or used to be and an excellent kayak club. Not sure what houses prices are like now — it is an easy commute to the city by train or car…..
Chelmsford and Maldon are ok. I grew up in a village near there called Mayland. I live in Billericay and work at ford dunton import from oop north. Billericay station is on the southend line so you could train it in. Plenty of people drive from chelmsford to dunton literally hundreds and Billericay is on the way so thats very doable.
Driving to southend involves the A which sucks. Lived in Chelmsford and Billericay, both nice places but now live in Rayleigh and love it here and from where I live chelmo and sarfend are equi-distant. Essex, beautiful villages with generally shite towns well the newer ones anyhow. Avoid Harlow New Town like the plague, utter hole lived there for a year and worked there for seven years.
Advice above is pretty good, but like everywhere there are good and bad bits. Avoid Bas Vegas Basra Basildon. Horrible roads A and some nasty people.
