Nestled in the green heart of Essex, the tranquil village of Danbury is a hilltop haven with a population of a mere 6,500. Though small, its historical significance is great - it was built on an ancient hill fort, was the namesake of American Danbury, Connecticut, and carries a proud heritage as the original reference point for several Ordnance Survey maps. In spite of its rural location, Danbury is in close proximity to Bicknacre, Maldon, and Little Baddow for wider exploration.

It's perhaps best known for its 13th-century grade I listed church, St John the Baptist, and Danbury Country Park, once a medieval deer park and now owned by the county council. The surrounding woodland and heaths, lovingly maintained by National Trust and other conservation organisations, serve as a playground for the nature-lover, while the Sinclair family's local ties are immortalised in the local community magazine, The Focus. Beyond its historical charm, Danbury also boasts of famous personalities like Ralph Vaughan Williams, Cecil Armstrong Gibbs and Neil Innes.

When to visit Danbury

The best time to experience the captivating charm of Danbury differs based on personal preference. Those who enjoy warmer temperatures might find July and August ideal, with June also offering warmer climes. However, visitors seeking to avoid significant rainfall should consider visiting in November, September or January. High-season typically lands in July, with October and February also attracting a notable number of visitors.

Slower tourism periods of spring and autumn may offer enticing travel deals for savvy explorers. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Danbury promises a blend of history, culture and natural beauty all year round.
