グレートベントレーシビルパリッシュ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

One of the quintessential rural English scenes. A dead end on road, although there is an off-road route that connects to Manningtree if you don't mind some gravel riding.

Nice way. And not too crowded with people. Recommended.

Manningtree has traditionally claimed to be the smallest town in England, but its 2007 population of 700 people in 20 hectares[2] and the 2011 census population for the civil parish of 900 are much higher than the 351 population of Fordwich, Kent.[3] However the settlement of Manningtree has a population of 5696.[4] In April 2009 it was proposed that Manningtree should merge with Mistley and Lawford to form a single parish, losing its separate identity as a town.[5] As of 2018 such a merger has not occurred, and the town council currently claims to be the smallest by area.

The square symmetrical towers are in the neoclassical style, resembling tall pavilions rather than towers, with each facade pedimented and the whole surmounted by a cupola decorated with blind windows interspersed by Ionic columns. At ground floor level two unfluted ionic columns at each corner support a decorative cornice. The columns are decorative only, and appear to serve no structural purpose. The design of the towers creates the impression that the building was once more of a miniature cathedral than a parish church. However, the main body of the church was small and occupied the (now empty) site between the two towers. It was a single storey structure with a simple hipped roof and entrance porticos at its centre. This was the part of Adam's church which was demolished in 1870. The remaining towers are Grade I listed and a scheduled monument. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistley_Towers)

Mistley Towers are two porticoed classical towers which stood at each end of the now-demolished Church of St Mary the Virgin, a grandiose but highly unconventional place of worship. Work commenced on the church in 1776. The Towers are now in the care of English Heritage and are free to visit.

Manningtree is England's smallest town, according to its residents. Don’t let that fool you into thinking there’s nothing here, though. Situated on a wildlife-rich estuary, and hailed as the gateway to Constable country, the town is full of beauty. There are also plenty of places for food and drink, some accommodation, shops, and landmarks to explore.

The River Colne flows through Colchester and the Essex countryside on its way to the sea. There's a nice riverside path which is great for cycling. The river runs 39 miles (62 km) in total.

Built towards the end of the 11th century, Colchester Castle is a Norman castle with a unique keep. The castle witnessed various battles including a three-month siege in 1216. By the 17th century, the castle fell into disrepair and some parts were demolished. The remaining building was used as a prison for some time before being converted in the Colchester Museum in 1860. Today you can visit the museum and its Roman artefacts.
