Maldon is one of the oldest towns on record in Essex where medieval timber frame houses have Georgian and Victorian brick facades. The town's growth was primarily down to its famous sea salt and the navigable river that was wide enough for the iconic Thames Sailing Barges to sail up and down. Maldon is also home to the oldest known battlefield in England. At the Battle of Maldon in 991, the town's Saxon inhabitants were defeated by Viking raiders. For your holiday accommodation, choose from waterside lodges, town apartments or rural holiday cottages.
