Beautiful Nature Reserve to explore while hiking the coastal path. Be aware of the Adders (snakes) though. I didn't see one, but the locals I spoke to confirmed that they're there.

A majestic medieval ruin perched atop a hill with sweeping views of the Essex countryside and the Thames Estuary. Built in the 13th century under the reign of King Henry VIII and played a vital role in defending against potential invasion from the sea. It was strategically positioned to guard the Thames estuary. Excellent views across the countryside.

You can visit Hadleigh Castle for free and admire the ruins that have succumbed to the soft London clay on which it was built.

The Crowstone’s copper plate – now turned green – records that it was erected in 1836 and marked the seaward limit of the River Thames as then controlled by the City of London, and that it replaced a stone of 1755, both standing together until the more aged of the pair was presented by the Port of London Authority to Southend Corporation in 1950 for preservation in Priory Park Until 1350, the English Crown held the right to fish the rivers of England and charged duties on those people it licensed to fish. In 1197 King Richard I, in need of money to finance his involvement in the Third Crusade, sold the rights over the lower reaches of the River Thames to the City of London. Marker stones were erected to indicate the limit of the City's rights.
