Steeped in a wealth of History
The Essex Sunshine Coast
has a little of something to offer everyone. The Tendring
Peninsula has a wide range of heritage from prehistoric relics,
medieval churches to stylish Victorian villas.
The strong maritime History is present throughout the District
in towns such as Harwich, Manningtree and Mistley. Another
legacy of the Essex Sunshine Coast is the Martello
Towers, a line of defensive fortresses located along the
coast in Walton, Clacton, Jaywick and Point Clear and were
initially built in the 1800’s to resist a potential
invasion by Napoleon.
