I Visit BATTLESBRIDGE - Essex's BEST KEPT SECRET!

Today I am in the beautiful hidden gem village of Battlesbridge in Essex, close by to Wickford and Chelmsford, and only a train journey away from exciting London. In today’s 4K walking tour I’ll be taking you along for the ride as I explore all there is to see and do. If you’re looking for a charming, dog friendly, cosy village with shed-loads of amazing antiques shops and independent traders then this is the place to go this winter!

Walk with me as I start out at the famous bridge itself, head over the River Crouch, grab a bean to cup coffee, visit the church, the village green, the four main group of antiques dealers (Old Granary, Cromwell House, Muggeridge Farm and Bones Lane - all with quirky shops in magnificent old buildings) and of course stop for a pint at an amazing cosy pub, The Hawk Inn. I also get to experience Nerd Base - one of the UK’s biggest toy stores with modern toys as well as vintage, rare collectibles and general nostalgia overload (board games, Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Indiana Jones, retro games, comics, wrestling action figures and so much more!).
 
Perfect for a daytrip from London, come and see why this historical village is one of the best places to visit in Essex! 

If you don’t know me already, I’m Jack and I’m exploring the UK, making travel vlogs as I go. I’d be so grateful for your support, so please do like the video, leave a comment and subscribe to the channel!
