A Grade II listed manor in Old Harlow, Essex, given over to one wedding party with its lake, gardens and marquee
Beyond the busy towns and commuter routes of Essex lies a countryside of historic manor houses, timber-framed villages and beautiful rural estates. Traditional country properties, restored barns and elegant garden venues create inviting settings for weddings, often surrounded by mature parkland, agricultural landscapes and historic architecture.
Colchester preserves important traces of Roman Britain, while Saffron Walden is celebrated for its medieval streets and traditional buildings. Along the coast, the Blackwater and Colne estuaries reveal salt marshes, sailing communities and picturesque waterfront villages. Further south, the countryside around Epping Forest introduces ancient woodland and traditional settlements. Essex has a geographical variety that is sometimes overlooked, stretching from cultivated inland landscapes to the distinctive tidal scenery of England's eastern coast.
