Essex is full of history and interesting facts. The county is home to the birthplace of radio, the world's longest pleasure pier and Britain's first city. Wherever you are in Essex you will be able to find something interesting about life in the past. Audley End House and Gardens is one brilliant place to discover what it used to be like in Essex. The stunning 17th-century home, near Saffron Walden, is one of the finest Jocobean houses in England.

Essex has many quirks - whether that's some strange folklores or whether its our transport network, there's some spooky stuff in the Essex history books. Take our roads for example, whenever you drive around Essex's major roads you will fairly regularly pass under bridges which act as cross roads to connect slip-roads or villages to the main route. But there is one bridge in Essex which is arguably the most pointless one to exist - because it actually leads to nowhere. Pointless, right?

I'm a big fan of hot chocolates. Salted caramel, white chocolate, classic milk. They're something I love to turn to on a cold day to warm me up when it's looking miserable outside. But an Essex pub has made a hot chocolate seasonal by adding a whole chocolate egg to it. And when I mean a whole chocolate egg, I mean a whole Easter egg. This drink is sold by The Inn at Belfairs and I paid them a visit recently to give it a try before the Easter weekend.
