Shopping
The ancient market town of Maldon sits proudly perched on the top of a steep hill. It has a fascinating and diverse history and a vibrant community feel to it, bringing visitors back time and again. With an architecturally interesting High Street filled with independent shops, the town attracts both local people and interested tourists. Follow the hill down towards the waterfront and breathe in the fresh air from the saltmarshes.

Like stepping back in time. Old traditional pub with no music or fruit machines just good old fashioned conversation.
The Cats is run by a charming couple who really do make the most of this stunning pub set in the heart of the beautiful countryside. Snuggle up with the 2 log burners inside during the colder months or sit and look out across the ploughed fields during the summer from the garden. If your lucky enough you might get to see the steam engines fire up in the car park.
A ploughman’s is served Thurs - Sat but no food any other times.
The cats is a cash only bar so no credit card terminals I am afraid.
Within walking distance, situate down Blue Mill Lane about a 10 mins from boat - you will need torches for evening time.
