Explore the beauty of the Essex Countryside by bike and ride the Witch Finders Way starting at Harwich. Your journey will take you through picturesque villages and countryside to Mistley and Manningtree where the Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins was employed to hunt out the area’s witches during his reign of terror between 1645 - 1647. The route then returns to Harwich via the river Stour.

Take a walk on the wild side on one of our many invigorating and interesting walks in the local countryside or stroll along the many miles of beaches we have to offer. For further information on what our Countryside, Nature Reserves, Park and Gardens have to offer log on to www.tendringdc.gov.uk.

Holland-on-Sea is situated to the east of Clacton. Once a tiny cliff-top village known as Little 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.
