Location information for Chelmsford

Chelmsford is a small town in Central Essex that has a colourful history that dates back to more than 800 years ago. The town is famous all over the world for being the birthplace of the radio. This is probably one of the reasons why it attracts its fair share of tourists from all over the world. Arranging for car hire in Chelmsford is a practical move especially if you want to explore the surrounding countryside or if you're looking to take day trips to nearby villages and towns.

But while you're in town, park your car hire in Chelmsford and take a leisurely stroll around the area's most popular attractions. A walk to the town centre will take you to the Shire Hall, one of the oldest and most prominent buildings in town. From the time it was built in 1791 up to the present, the building has been used as Chelmsford's court house. Behind the Shire Hall, you will find the Chelmsford Cathedral. The church is around the same age as the town so it has been around for centuries.

The annual music festival that the town hosts also regularly attracts visitors from all over the country. The V Festival, held during the last week of August, plays host to some of the most popular local and international rock music artists.

Shopping opportunities are mostly located along the town's High Street. A number of international cuisines are also served through the many restaurants and food outlets that dot the area.

After having your fill of the town, take your budget car rental for a trip to London or to the nearby countryside.
