Chalkwell Coaches DayBreak to Maldon
Once Maldon stood as a bastion against raiding Viking forces. Today the backdrop of sky, saltmarsh and water make this area of Essex a beautiful haven. The majestic Thames Sailing Barges which cluster around the Hythe Quay evoke the days of traditional sail. Promenade Park, on the banks of the River Blackwater, dates from Edwardian times but still continues to delight families today. The steep climb up Market Hill leads to the historic inns, churches and fine medieval buildings in the town. The statue of Byrhtnoth, the fierce Anglo-Saxon warrior, commemorates Maldons most famous moment in history, the Battle of Maldon in AD991. A specially commissioned embroidery, created 1,000 years later and now on permanent display, depicts the Battle and the story of Maldon. The most striking building in the High Street is the Moot Hall with its balcony and pillars stretching across the pavement. The unique brick spiral staircase leads to the bell tower which affords far-reaching views across the rooftop and estuary landscape. Nearby, the Museum in the Park, The Museum of Power, and the Combined Military Services Museum add to the rich heritage of the town.
