Saffron Walden.
It's a bit UKIP central, but very attractive small town, okay-ish transport links to London and decent countryside around it.

Friends of my ex-wife moved there years ago and we went to visit - it's bland fucking middle England at it's worst. We were there from Friday night to Sunday morning, when they wanted to take us to the museum, and all I wanted to do was get the fuck out of there and back to somewhere sensible. Fortunately I'm now divorced and never have to go there again.

We're looking for a nice part of Essex to live. I figured that LFGSS would be extremely knowledgeable about places in Essex as seen from two wheels.
Ignoring budget for now, we want to live somewhere rural with a bit of land. Transport connections to London not a big deal, both of us are able to work from home. We like Essex because it is halfway between our respective parents, in Suffolk and Northamptonshire but also close enough to London to visit other family and friends on occasion.
Are there any villages or areas that really stand out in the collective LFGSS hive mind?
