Pleshey is a historic village with great conservation interest and many listed properties. Pleshey Castle (can be viewed by appointment) is one of the best Motte and Bailey earthworks in England and is a central feature of the village.
Pleshey is in the heart of the Essex countryside with good access from the M11, A12, A120, A414 or A130.
There are two good pubs - the Leather Bottle and the White Horse.
