I also intend to visit other places of interest...
Lucky you, wish I was there instead of stuck in my office on a quiet day.
1. Try walking from Goldhanger to D'arcy across the fields
2. Then tell us if you feel like committing 5 murders before walking back
3. Cycle the scenic sea wall route...and fall off, so you don't get to commit any murders
3. Photograph the Bambers' memorial window at St Nic's
4. Photograph the old WW2 airfield at Goldhanger - re: horseydave
I recommend having tea at the Wilkins jam factory's cafe or the cafe at lovely Heybridge Basin. Have breakfast, if you're stopping, at the Ship, Heybridge Basin: they do a great veggie breakfast and the landlord is a good bloke and very knowledgeable.
Have fun
