Places to see in ( Maldon - UK )
Maldon is a town on the Blackwater estuary in Essex, England. Maldon is the seat of the Maldon District and starting point of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation. It is most renowned for Maldon Sea Salt which is produced in the area.
Maldon is a town of circa 15000 people on the tidal River Chelmer by the Blackwater Estuary in Essex. It is on the A414 10 miles (16 km) east of Chelmsford, and 49 miles (79 km) north east of Charing Cross, London, using the A13.
Essex is a county built on London clay, overlain with pockets of gravel deposited by riperian action, the lowest land is made up of river alluvium and salt marsh. At Maldon the railway cutting (now a road cutting) provided a reference section for geologists. There are three landslips on the north-facing river cliff of the Blackwater at Maldon. The middle slip is called the West Maldon Landslip, which was caused by repeated rotational slips of the bedrock London Clay, which is trying to reach a stable angle.
Hythe Quay at the confluence of the Chelmer and Blackwater, which flanks the northern edge of the town, was an important port, and Cooks Yard remains significant for Thames barges. The River Blackwater, that was diverted into the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation, re-emerges into the Blackwater Estuary, through locks at the Heybridge Basin, the stream bed passes down Heybridge Creek. and this delinearates the border between Maldon Town and Heybridge Parish Council.
Maldon's first railway link was a branch line to Witham opened in 1846. Later a second line linked Maldon with Woodham Ferrers on the Crouch Valley Line between Southminster and Wickford line. Whilst Wickford is itself on the line between Shenfield and Southend (thus providing Maldon with another route into London Liverpool Street), a short-lived spur line at Wickford also gave direct access towards Southend.
Maldon West railway station was opened in 1889 by the Great Eastern Railway. The line between Maldon and South Woodham Ferrers closed to passengers in 1939, the Maldon and Witham line closed in 1966. The nearest railway stations to Maldon are now Hatfield Peverel, Witham and North Fambridge. Hatfield Peverel is the closest railway station to the north of the town, whilst North Fambridge is closest to southern parts of the town.

Places to see in ( Tattershall - UK )
Places to see in ( Tattershall - UK )
Tattershall is a village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. Tattershall is situated on the A153 Horncastle to Sleaford road, 1 mile east from the point where that road crosses the River Witham.
At its eastern end, Tattershall adjoins the village of Coningsby, with the two being separated by the River Bain. In the same parish is the hamlet of Tattershall Thorpe. Local public houses are the Black Horse on the High Street and the Fortescue Arms in the Market Place. The Fortesque Arms dates from the 15th century and is a Grade II listed building. Barnes Wallis Academy (built 1954) is a secondary modern school on Butts Lane for pupils aged from 11 to 16. The school also serves Coningsby and Woodhall Spa.
The remaining wreckage of the Boeing jumbo jet that was blown-up on 21 December 1988 over Lockerbie in Scotland is stored at a scrapyard near Tattershall. The remains include the plane's nose and cockpit. Tattershall Carrs forms the last remaining remnants of ancient wet woodland, dominated by alder that once ringed the margins of the Fens.
Village historic sites include the church of the Holy Trinity, a buttercross, Tattershall Castle, Collegiate College, and Tom Thumb's house and grave. Tattershall Castle was built in 1434 by Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell - Henry VI's Lord High Treasurer - on the site of an earlier 13th-century stone castle, of which some remains are extant, particularly the Grand Tower and moat.
An octagonal 15th-century buttercross stands in the Market Place. It is both a Grade I listed structure and an ancient scheduled monument. A charter to hold a weekly market was granted by King John in 1201 in return for an annual fee of a trained goshawk.
Tattershall railway station was a station on the line between Boston and Lincoln until closure. The Old Station House, a stationmasters house and ticket office, is a Grade II listed building. Adjacent to the castle is the Grade I listed Perpendicular-style Holy Trinity Collegiate Church, endowed by Ralph de Cromwell, 3rd Baron Cromwell, but built after his death.
Adjacent to the Market Place are the remains of Tattershall College which was built by Lord Cromwell for the education of the choristers of Holy Trinity Church. The College was an example of perpendicular style of Gothic architecture. In the late 18th century it was converted to a brewery, and later left empty – today it is a ruin. The walls that remain are supported by modern brick. Heritage Lincolnshire currently manages the site, which is Grade II* listed, and an ancient scheduled monument.

1 Day as a Tourist in Maldon, Essex, England | UK Travel Vlog
Welcome all to my brand new UK Travel vlog, 1 Day as a Tourist in Maldon!
Join me as I explore the nooks and crannies of this fantastic Essex Town, from the brilliant locals to the rich history.
Starting at the old Maldon Railway I take you on a journey uncovering the history of the great battle of Maldon between the Saxons and the Vikings. From there I accost some local ladies down a back street to talk about the famous Fat Man of Maldon and show you where he is buried. After popping in to the brilliant woof and co I take you around Hythe Quay and Promenade park for a museum tour and to meet some proper Maldon characters!
Let's Go!
And here's some information on our sponsor for this video, Woof and Co:
At Woof & Co. we try to be different from your regular pet store and believe dogs should be fed high quality food. After all they are family members and as much as we all love a fast food takeaway occasionally, you wouldn’t feed your child it everyday, so why should your dog be any different? We stock a wide range of natural, healthy treats, from our popular sausage bites to hairy deer legs. Products like our sausage bites are sold loose by weight so you can try as many or as little as you want and all of our other natural treats are sold individually so you can create your own tasty selection for your dog.
We love having dogs come in store and visit us and customers are welcome to try on any of our trendy coats, collars and harnesses on their dog.
We’re open 7 days a week and you can purchase online too on our website.
Why not make a day out of it to come visit us with so many high street shops and food establishments being dog friendly and the beautiful Maldon Promenade is a fun place to go for both children and dogs.

1 Day as a Tourist in Braintree, Essex, England | UK Travel Vlog
Welcome to Braintree!
In this brand new UK Travel Vlog I explore the historic market town of Braintree in Essex which began its life 4000 years ago as a village!
My trip begins at the Braintree and Bocking Public Gardens with some history on an extremely influential Courtauld family. From there I jumped back into my car and headed for the town center. Luckily I was given permission to film at the stunning Town Hall, which opened May 22nd 1928! From there I unearth some interesting history at an old drunkard lock up, before taking a walk on the stunning old Flitch Way Railway Route.
My next destination is the hustle and bustle of market day in the town center, and a catch up with a variety of brilliant characters plying their wares, followed by a tour of Bocking Arts theatre by a local comedian.
Finally I take in Braintree Museum for a vital history lesson, ending my trip at a crackin local place called Toast, with a proper tasty meatball toasted sarnie!
Bloody brilliant!

Places to see in ( Ely - UK )
Places to see in ( Ely - UK )
Ely is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England, about 14 miles north-northeast of Cambridge and about 80 miles by road from London. Construction of the cathedral was started in 1083 by a Norman abbot, Simeon. Alan of Walsingham's octagon, built over Ely's nave crossing between 1322 and 1328, is the greatest individual achievement of architectural genius at Ely Cathedral, according to architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner. Building continued until the dissolution of the abbey in 1539 during the Reformation. The cathedral was sympathetically restored between 1845 and 1870 by the architect George Gilbert Scott. As the seat of a diocese, Ely has long been considered a city; in 1974, city status was granted by royal charter.
Ely is built on a 23-square-mile (60 km2) Kimmeridge Clay island which, at 85 feet (26 m), is the highest land in the fens. Major rivers including the Witham, Welland, Nene and Great Ouse feed into the fens and, until draining commenced in the 17th century, formed freshwater marshes and meres within which peat was laid down. There are two Sites of Special Scientific Interest in the city: a former Kimmeridge Clay quarry, and one of the United Kingdom's best remaining examples of medieval ridge and furrow agriculture.
Little direct evidence of Roman occupation in Ely exists, although there are nearby Roman settlements such as those at Little Thetford and Stretham. A coach route, known to have existed in 1753 between Ely and Cambridge, was improved in 1769 as a turnpike (toll road). The present day A10 closely follows this route; a southwestern bypass of the city was built in 1986. Ely railway station built in 1845 is on the Fen Line and is now a railway hub, with lines north to King's Lynn, northwest to Peterborough, east to Norwich, southeast to Ipswich and south to Cambridge and London.
The King's School is a coeducational boarding school which was granted a royal charter in 1541 by Henry VIII; the school claims to have existed since 970. Henry I granted the first annual Fair, Saint Audrey's (or Etheldreda's) seven-day event, to the abbot and convent on 10 October 1189; the word tawdry originates from cheap lace sold at this fair. Present day annual events include the Eel Festival in May, established in 2004, and a fireworks display in Ely Park, first staged in 1974. The city of Ely has been twinned with Denmark's oldest town, Ribe, since 1956. Ely City Football Club was formed in 1885.
Ely railway station, on the Fen Line, is a major railway hub with the Cambridge to Ely section opening in 1845. Five major railway lines—excluding the former Ely and St Ives Railway—emanate from this hub: north to King's Lynn, northwest to Peterborough, east to Norwich, southeast to Ipswich and south to Cambridge and London.

1 Day as a Tourist in Witham, Essex, England | Uk Travel Vlog
In this UK Travel Vlog '1 day as a tourist in Witham' I explore the Town of Witham in Essex within the district of Braintree in Essex.
Starting from the church I make my way through the town, then through the stunning river walk where I managed to accost a few locals to have a chin wag with. After a laugh at the skate park with a couple of local lads I return to the town to uncover some history and a tragic event involving a grenade which took place at a house next to the war memorial in WW1.
My trip to Witham ends with an incredible meal at Spanish Restaurant, El Pulpo and a Gin & Tonic at the fabulously quirky, Charlies Cocktail Bar.
Enjoy!

Witham Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Essex, and around 40 miles northeast of central London, is the town of Witham (pronounced 'WIT-um').
Geographically Witham is situated on the River Brain, and adjacent to the old Roman road between London and Colchester. Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a Roman temple and pottery kiln in the area, hinting at Roman occupation in Witham as a stopover point.
The name 'Witham' is part Brythonic (derived from 'gwydd', meaning 'woods' in modern Welsh) and part Saxon ('ham' meaning 'home' or 'estate'). In 1148 the manor of Witham was given to the Knights Templar. In circa 1154 King Stephen confirmed to the Templars the right to an existing market at Witham.
The initial settlement of Witham is believed to have originated around Chipping Hill to the north of the town centre of the present. The Templars shifted development south to a stretch of the London-Colchester road, subsequently known as Newland Street, where the bulk of the town centre stands to this day. It was in this area that a second market began, which would eventually outgrow the initial market at Chipping Hill.
In addition to its growing marketplace, the Newland area of Witham became a coaching stop for those travelling between London and Colchester owing to its placement directly along the Roman road. There is evidence of cloth manufacture in late medieval Witham although this industry had eventually declined by the 17th century. In the 18th century, after the discovery of a mineral-bearing spa, Witham experienced a brief period as an affluent spa town.
In 1843 the railway arrived in Witham. To this day it stands on the Great Eastern Main Line between London Liverpool Street and Norwich. Furthermore it serves as a junction station for trains to and from Braintree. It was also historically the junction station for services to Maldon up until 1964 when the Beeching Axe claimed the Witham to Maldon branch line.
A statue of Dorothy L. Sayers can be seen on Newland Street. Sayers was a crime writer and poet, as well as a student of classical languages. She is known for her translation of Dante's Divine Comedy, originally written in early 14th century Italian. Sayers spent the latter years of her life in Witham, where she died in 1957.
Singer Olly Murs was born and raised in Witham.

The High Bridge & the Legend of the Murder Hole - Lincoln (England) - A Traveller's Memoir
🇬🇧The High Bridge which was built in 1160, carries the High Street across the River Witham in Lincoln. It is the oldest bridge in the United Kingdom which still has buildings on it.🇬🇧
The bridge was built about 1160 AD and a bridge chapel was built dedicated to Thomas Becket in 1235. The chapel was removed in 1762.
These rows of timber framed shops on the High Bridge, date from about 1550.
Today, the narrow opening underneath the High bridge is known as The Glory Hole. Back in the Middle Ages. however, it was often referred to as The Murder Hole.
According to local legend, whenever a body was thrown into the Witham, it would be washed ashore here.

Braintree is a town in Essex, England. The principal settlement of Braintree District, it is located 10 miles northeast of Chelmsford and 15 miles west of Colchester.
Braintree has grown contiguous with several surrounding settlements. Braintree proper lies on the River Brain and to the south of Stane Street, the Roman road from Braughing to Colchester, while Bocking lies on the River Blackwater and to the north of the road. The two are sometimes referred to together as Braintree and Bocking, and since 1934 they form the civil parish of that name.
Braintree is bypassed by the modern-day A120 and A131 roads, while trains serve two stations in the town, at the end of the Braintree Branch Line. Braintree is twinned with Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, France, and gives its name to the towns of Braintree, Massachusetts and Braintree, Vermont, in the United States.
Braintree lies in north Essex, about 46 miles (74 km) from London, with factories and housing to the south and rural areas to the north, where arable crops are grown. It lies about 150 feet (46 m) above sea level. Essex is rather flat on the whole, and the Braintree area is no exception; however, there is a general downward trend in the height of the ground from the northwest towards the coast to the southeast. Two rivers flow through Braintree in this direction. Pod's Brook approaches the western side of the town, forming a natural boundary between Braintree and the neighbouring village of Rayne about two miles (3 km) to the west.

They are based outside the Town Hall in Market Square, and also run along Bank Street and the High Street. The High street is mainly a pedestrianised area, which allows only buses to commute through the town.

It has approximately 90 departments where designer brands sell surplus stock for lower than the recommended retail price. Freeport also has its own railway station, namely Braintree Freeport railway station, which is the first stop on the journey from Braintree to London Liverpool Street via Witham.
