About

Wickford and Shotgate sit in the borough of Basildon in Essex, arranged around the valley of the River Crouch. Wickford is the larger settlement, with a town centre, a range of shops and a railway station on the Shenfield–Southend Victoria line that provides regular local services. Shotgate lies just to the east of the town and retains a village layout with a village hall, playing fields and allotments that sit between built-up streets and open farmland. The local drainage ditches and small tributaries of the Crouch shape many of the public footpaths and green corridors.

Transport links and community facilities define daily life: the station supports commuter flows while local primary schools, sports clubs and small businesses serve the neighbourhoods. Housing ranges from interwar and post-war terraces to later infill and estate development, with short walks from residential streets to green space. Local volunteer groups run community projects and the pattern of footpaths and field boundaries reflects long-established parish lines and farming plots on the edge of the town.
