Latchingdon is a fantastic place to live. We have the beauty of rural Essex in the centre of the Dengie Peninsula, nestled between the river Blackwater and Crouch, with a seemingly unique micro-climate. The ancient river communities of Maldon and Burham are just a few miles away, and the county town of Chelmsford is just 30mins away by car.
