For a wonderful mix of coastal and countryside attractions, our
Essex cottages are great for family holidays.
Head to the coast for fun, sun and water sports - over 350 miles
long and featuring both remote areas brimming with wildlife and a
variety of resorts, many with Blue Flag beaches. Enjoy
Clacton's Air Show and music festivals. Don't miss the
rides at Southend's Adventure Island on the world's longest
pier. Stroll along the prom past colourful beach huts at
Frinton-on-Sea. Enjoy bracing cliff-top walks along the
'Sunshine Coast'. Or set sail from Burnham-on-Crouch.
For cute and cuddly encounters, choose from farm parks and
Colchester Zoo. Or pack the picnic hamper and explore one of the
many country parks such as Cudmore Grove. Rollerworld, steam
trains, museums, go-carts - they're all here.
Walk, cycle and ride! Home of Constable Country, it's easy
to see why the Essex countryside inspired the great painter some
200 years ago. Trace his steps through the Dedham Vale and Stour
Valley and discover rolling farmland, ancient woodlands, rivers and
pretty villages.
Expect lots of stately homes and other ancient treasures.
Highlights include the Jacobean manor of Audley End House, the
neo-classical-style villa of Hylands House, Ingatestone Hall,
Hedingham Castle and Layer Marney Tower, an impressive Tudor
gatehouse.
Another reason to book an Essex cottage is to sample local
delicacies. The seafood bars of West Mersea offer Colchester Native
Oysters. Try wines and Oyster Stout from Mersea Island Vineyard,
freshly-harvested cockles and whelks at Leigh and make sure you
pick up a pot of Tiptree jam.
