local attractions

We're lucky to live in such a beautiful part of Essex on the end of the Blackwater Estuary. Our historical maritime town is full of history but not all of it is nautical.

Below you'll find links to a few local attractions which we recommend you visit when you have some time to spare.

If you run a local attraction which would like to be added to these pages then send us details via the 'contact us' page.
