Danbury village, near Chelmsford, is an ancient settlement with strategic importance, being set on one of the highest points in the county of Essex between the Roman road from London to Colchester and the port of Maldon. The historic Country Park has been a feature in the Essex landscape for over 700 years. Over the centuries its use and design have changed through a variety of social transformations until it was bought by Essex County Council in 1947, opening as a Country Park in 1974, so the rich landscape can by enjoyed by everyone.
