Overview of Rayleigh
The town of Rayleigh is located North East of Gatwick airport a distance of 56 miles that would take around 1 hour 5 minutes by taxi via the M25 and A13. Rayleigh is a market town in the county of Essex, located between Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea.
The name "Rayleigh" is Saxon in origin, with "Roa" the word for Roebuck and "Lea" a pasture probably for goats. The connection with deer continued through the centuries, with the surrounding forest becoming royal hunting grounds. It is recorded that King Henry III hunted here in 1222, and the three King Edwards also visited. During Henry VIII reign deer were constantly taken from here to replenish the herds in Greenwich Park. Today, The town's amenities include several public houses, restaurants, shops, and an indoor market (Rayleigh Lanes). There is a small outdoor market on Wednesdays, with the market dating back to before 1181 when it was inscribed in the Exchequer Records of Henry II.
Rayleigh windmill has recently been renovated, with the basic external brickwork been repaired and the interior has been transformed to provide four storeys of modern display facilities which has turned the windmill into a major tourist and educational attraction. Rayleigh Mount, a National Trust property adjacent to Rayleigh Windmill, is the site of a Domesday castle erected by Sweyn of Essex with distinctive motte-and-bailey defences. From its summit it offers sweeping views across the Crouch Valley. While the more adventurous may prefer to sample Rayleigh Indoor Karting Stadium.
