Colchester Zoo
Colchester
In this diverse landscape, the prettiest bit of countryside has to be Dedham Vale. Just a few miles away, Clacton-on-Sea has its own Victorian pleasure pier and a proper bucket-and-spade charm.
Why choose Essex?
Head Colchester way and pop in to the zoo or castle
Hop aboard the Colne Valley Railway vintage steam train
Taste award-winning wines at Dedham Vale Vineyard
There are some Roman ruins in Colchester – well worth a visit
The Orchards
Clacton-on-Sea
With winding streams and creeks, sand flats, and a coastal walk, The Orchards is a hidden gem. This relatively big park has heated pools, fishing lakes and a golf course too.
