In the county of Essex sits Basildon, an amazing town with fabulous transportation links, including road, rail and bus links. Basildon is the perfect place to enjoy a variety of great activities catering to all sorts of tastes.

 

Gloucester Park within Basildon has many amazing amenities, including a swimming pool, tennis courts, netball courts, a bowling green, a fishing lake and a playground, amongst many others, all to be enjoyed in beautiful surroundings.

And if gorgeous scenery is what you enjoy during the seasons then you cannot miss a visit to Wat Tyler Country Park, where you can experience 120 acres of thorn woodlands, adventure play areas, craft units and a vast array of plant and animal life thriving in the ecosystem.
