Canvey Island. The rides are great value - £5 wristband, fairly priced food. Can’t go wrong for the younger kids

There are so many places near us; Audley End, Papermill Lock, Maldon Promenade Park and Tiptree Factory shop and Tea Room. We live in a lovely county with many places of interest

Simple. A stroll along Southend Pier then Rossi ice cream after

Old Leigh is great spot to spend an afternoon out. Nice pubs, places to walk. Great place to bring the dog!

If you’re happy to go a bit further afield, Hyde Park. It is vast, quiet, beautiful, well-appointed and there is something for everyone - especially children.

Visit Colchester Zoo. Excellent value for money. Clean and gift shop prices reasonable. Good day out with lots of interaction. Yearly passes available.
Mavis Garner
A stroll along the seafront at Burnham-on-Crouch at high tide on a hot sunny day. Sit outside one of the lovely old pubs for lunch
Sylvia Kirby
Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker. It’s a proper day out
