If you're looking to take a trip away from your caravan park, then take a look at some of the popular visitor attractions Essex has to offer.
Sea-Life Adventure brings you all the magic of the deep blue sea without as much as getting your feet wet. Sea-Life Adventure describes the experience as ‘Edu-tainment’ (which is a mixture of entertainment and education provided simultaneously), allowing visitors to enjoy the Aquarium exhibits whilst providing as much information as possible. Travel through the Beach Walk environment with its marine life, then Sea Cavern, moving on you will see the Piranhas in H.M.S Sub Tropical, then on to Seahorse Rodeo. The Rockpool exhibit gives informative talks on different types of shellfish, then on to Conservation Adventure with its baby sharks, then Ray Bay and then finally on to Deepwater World where you will see the sharks and stingrays as you walk through the glass tunnel – a thrilling experience indeed! www.sealifeadventure.co.uk
If you are looking for a superb example of Tudor architectural design then look no further than Layer Marney Tower, this fine example of a Tudor Gatehouse was built around 1523 and is 80ft high and the tallest of its kind in England. Although severely damaged in 1884 by The Great Earthquake, this fine building has over the following years been restored and added to making it something truly spectacular to visit. There is a lot to see and do, make sure you visit the History room, Church, outbuildings, gardens and not forgetting the children’s play area and rare breeds’ farm. Pause for awhile in the Old Stables Tearoom to recharge the batteries before moving on to the gift shop for that souvenir of your visit. www.layermarneytower.co.uk
