Two Tier County in United Kingdom
Map
Overview
Essex sits northeast of London, marked by a long North Sea coastline and the tidal Thames estuary. Its mix of medieval market towns like Braintree and Colchester contrasts with modern centers such as Chelmsford, the county's administrative hub. The region's flat terrain and mild average temperature of 10.4°C support both agriculture and dense commuter settlements.
