Halstead is situated across the Suffolk Essex border, in a prime location for visiting some of the region’s most notable historic sites.

The Roman town of Colchester is less than 30 minutes away and the Colne Valley is even closer. Nearby Long Melford boasts an array of historic sites, such as Kentwell Hall, and features one of the longest village high streets in England.

Incidentally, this is scattered with fine quality antique shops for those of you with an eye for treasure! Halstead itself is an interesting example of a traditional market town, with many boutiques and unusual shops remaining on the High Street.
