Great Baddow & Villages
Great Baddow is a popular urban village in the south of Chelmsford, the county town of Essex. Just 31 miles north East of London. Only 40 minutes from Liverpool Street Station.
Great Baddow was named after the River Baddow, now known as the River Chelmer, which runs a mile or so east of the village.
For the lover of fine ales, Great Baddow is the place to be thanks to it’s five traditional pubs – The White Horse, The Blue Lion, The Kings Head, The Beehive and The Star, all owned by the Baddow Brewery Co Ltd.
The centre of Great Baddow is now a Conservation Area, which combines the appeal of both the antique and the new, as the heart of the old village of Great Baddow has over 30 listed buildings, whilst the newly refurbished Vineyards flats are proving to be highly regarded and sought after properties.
On the doorstep is Chelmsford originally a market town it is still the perfect place for some retail therapy with both the indoor Retail Market off Market Square, and with regular markets and a Gourmet Food Fair in the High Street.
Just off the pedestrianised High Street, both The Meadows and High Chelmer shopping centres are packed with well-known high street names. For something a little more individual, the boutiques and specialist stores of Moulsham Street and Baddow Road offer luxury labels, jewellery, interiors, art and gifts.
