		Away from the bustling areas of Essex that lie close to London is the contrasting landscape of sandy beaches, country rambles along leafy lanes and bracing walks on the edge of the Blackwater estuary.

		Essex is the driest county in the UK; it receives only 50% of the average annual rainfall in a normal year.
