Chappel

Chappel lies in Essex's Colne Valley, reached via the A604 between Colchester and Halstead. Most visitors arrive from the A12, turning off near Colchester for the final 10-kilometre stretch through countryside. The village sits amongst typical Essex farmland, with over 80 EV charging points available regionally. The highlight is its magnificent 32-arch Victorian railway viaduct, towering 75 feet above the valley floor.
