| WALTON ON THE NAZE, Essex |
|
Situated 8 miles Norh East of Clacton on the B1034. A seaside
resort that focuses around it its pier. First built in 1830
and originally made of wood the pier measured 330 feet in
length. It was extended in 1898 to its current length of 2,610
feet making it the second longest pier in England (the other
also being located in the same county of Essex, at Southend).
The seafront gardens are colourful all year round the the
beach can boast some of the finest and best sand on the east
coast. The town is an early Victorian seaside resort retaining
much of its charm, small narrow streets with numerous shops,
restaurants and pub still thrive.
Well-worth a visit is The Old Lifeboat House Museum at East
Terrace, the building itself dates back over 100 years and in
it you will find local history as well as the history of the
lifeboats of Walton, Frinton and the Sokens.
Just north of the town is The Naze which contributes to the
town's name, an extensive area offering picnic and walking areas
throughout the year. Climb the Naze brick built octagonal tower
(originally serving as a beacon to warn seaman of the West Rocks)
today it houses an art gallery, museum and cafe and from the
top serves as a great place to see the coast.
