The picturesque village of Dedham with its Mill and river boats is a must for a day out, there are craft and art stands in the old church in the centre of the village. It does get busy in the summer months and the car parking can be tricky. There is a petting zoo next to the main car park too. A stroll and ice-cream is a must.

Traditional seaside town with it's own pier and rides, beaches galore. Take a stroll along the seafront and through the ornamental gardens and get a candyfloss or some hot doughnuts and take in the smells and sounds of the pier. Walk to the end and enjoy the still sounds of the waves lapping at the steel girders beneath.

Sightseeing

Fancy a bit of Fossil hunting...head on down to Walton-on-the-naze, the cliffs here show all the layers of erosion and is a must for anyone hoping to find a few sharks teeth. It makes for a lovely walk to the end and a walk along the beach. Walton also has its own Pier with fun rides and an indoor swimming pool.
