From here it's on to the village of Thorpeness with it's pretty mock Tudor houses and 'house in the clouds', and with stop off at Aldeburgh - a step back in time to complete your day out.
Day Three - Clacton and Colchester
Today we head to the seaside town of Clacton On Sea. The largest town on the Essex Sunshine Coast has been the place to be seen since the 1950s and today still attracts visitors from all around. A lively pier, large promenade and the seafront gardens are just a few things to enjoy.
From here it's back to the city of Colchester. Once the capital for Roman Britain, the city has a history that stretches back over 2000 years, and it's historic centre is ideal for exploring. Couple this with typical high street shopping and loads of independent boutiques and eateries making Colchester a great place to visit.
