1645 - 1647. The route then returns to Harwich via the river
Stour.

Holland-on-Sea is situated to the east

Holland, it has become a peaceful residential area. Various
sporting activities are available at Happy Valley Sports Ground,
while sailing & boating enthusiasts are catered for at
Holland Haven. Holland Haven Country Park is situated on the
coast between Clacton and Frinton and is managed to conserve
the landscape, coastal grazing marsh and wildlife quality
of the area whilst providing for the quiet enjoyment of visitors.
In addition to some interesting breeding birds in summer,
the Country Park is an important point for Spring and Autumn
migrants. The SSSI designation recognises the rare and varied
flora.
