"visit a wide range of heritage
sites from prehistoric relics and medieval churches to stylish
Victorian villas"
Steeped in a wealth of History, the Tendring
Peninsula, which takes its name from the old Tendring Hundred
has a wide range of heritage from prehistoric relics and medieval
churches to stylish Victorian villas.
There is a strong maritime history present throughout the
District in towns such as Brightlingsea,
Harwich,
Dovercourt, Manningtree
and Mistley.
Another legacy of the Essex Sunshine Coast is the Martello
Towers. This line of defensive fortresses located along
the coast in Walton-on-the-Naze, Clacton-on-Sea, Jaywick and
Point Clear were initially built in the 1800's to resist a
potential invasion by Napoleon.
