    Running

    The River Chelmer flows for 65km from Debden to the Blackwater Estuary and passes only through the county of Essex. It was previously known as the River Baddow, but its name was wrongly changed on the assumption that Chelmsford was named after a river crossing over the River Chelmer. In fact, Chelmsford was named after the landowner, Cēolmǣr. It is a beautiful river to walk along with a real feeling of peace and tranquility so close to the city.
