Stanford le Hope Essex hotels:

Country park with picnic areas, wildflower, meadows and ancient woodland overlooking the Thames estuary. Dating back to the Saxon period, Langdon simply means 'long hill'. The park sits on a 385ft crescent-shaped hilly ridge which extends from Dunton to Vange. There are two main areas totalling approximately 400 acres (or the size of 200 full size football pitches), One Tree Hill and Westley Heights.
The park is open 365 days of the year from 8.00am until dusk with ample parking. There are panoramic views over the Thames Estuary and across to London. The park includes informal picnic areas, ancient woodlands dating back to prehistoric times, flower-rich grassland meadows, areas of dense scrubland, and has a good network of footpaths and horse/cycle tracks linking to surrounding countryside
