Welcome to Baddow Park

Baddow Park is a beautiful and historic park located in the heart of Essex. The park is known for its stunning scenery, which includes a large lake, rolling hills, and lush greenery. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities in the park, including walking, jogging, cycling, and picnicking. The park is also home to a number of rare and endangered species, making it a popular destination for nature lovers.

One of the most unique features of Baddow Park is its rich history. The park was originally owned by the Baddow family, who were prominent landowners in the area. Over the years, the park has been used for a variety of purposes, including as a hunting ground, a military training ground, and a public park. Today, the park is a popular destination for families, couples, and individuals looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

Another unique aspect of Baddow Park is its close proximity to the city of Chelmsford. Despite being located just a few miles from the city center, the park feels like a world away. Visitors can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the park, while still being within easy reach of all the amenities and attractions that Chelmsford has to offer. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to relax or an exciting day out, Baddow Park is the perfect destination.
