Nice walk along the marshes with nice views. On a hot day make sure to take water as it got very warm.when we walked it.

Nice walk along the coast. Down along the beach if you have time you can find sharks teeth in the small pebbles. Sunken pill boxes too to see.

Also known as the Hanoverian Tower, Naze Tower was built to aid ships navigating this stretch of coastline, which otherwise has very few landmarks. It would have had a light at the top for nocturnal navigation. The tower is now home to a great cafe and a museum. It is also well worth taking the 111 steps up the tower to bask in the glorious views from the top.

Walton Hall Marshes is a popular place for birdwatching and is a calm and relaxing place for a hike, although if there is an easterly wind it will certainly blow the cobwebs out. You can see across Walton Channel to Hedge End Island and further to Horsey Island. In places, the fields are lower than sea level!

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.
