spring walk in essex

April 23, 2021

Even though I live in a shoreline town, there are plenty more in Connecticut to explore!  Some towns I may not visit very often, yet others I wouldn’t miss checking out on a regular basis.

Essex is one of these ‘regular basis’ towns.  It has a quiet elegance about it and is very historic – It is home to one of the oldest (since 1776) continuously operated inns in the country.  I usually visit this seaport village in July, but a friend and I recently made a spring visit.

As in any visit, we took plenty of time to notice outdoor home décor and gardens.  Having done a formal home tour in Essex in the past, I know there are many magnificent interiors as well!

I hope you are inspired to enjoy some walks outside of your regular neighborhood during this pretty time of year!
