An agricultural and industrial centre in the county of Essex in eastern England, Chelmsford is split into three distinct districts by the Can and Chelmer rivers. The rivers are spanned by several bridges including the Stone Bridge (built in 1787), there are riverside walks that you can enjoy when the weather is pleasant. The 15th century parish church of St Mary the Virgin became a cathedral in 1914. Chelmsford has a population of approximately 120,000 and became the county town of Essex in the 13th century, much of its industry which centred around electrical engineering has now gone, though the town continues to grow and thrive.
