Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Mersea Island

"A mere half a mile from Colchester’s train station, High Woods Country Park is a Green Flag-winning patchwork of meadows, woodland, scrub, meadows and lakes. The park is within the town’s limits but on the signposted walking trails it will be hard to believe you’re not out in the countryside. Much of this land once belonged to the Medieval Forest of Kingswood, prized for its timber, while the innumerable sweet chestnuts were planted in the last 200 years."

"Southend has the most visited aquarium in the southeast of England, at Sea Life Adventure on the Eastern Esplanade. There are 40 displays to take in, featuring clownfish, rays, sharks, starfish, sea snakes, otters, penguins, dwarf caiman, poison art frogs and giant snails. Kids will have every chance to get involved at the Interactive Education Room, which has two rockpools where they’ll be able to touch a crab and starfish."

"Despite the name, Sea Life Adventure, isn’t actually affiliated with the SEALIFE global chain. It is still a fairly large aquarium though!. Unlike Clacton’s ‘Seaquarium’, Sea Life Adventure showcases marine life and animals that can be found around the world, as well as those native to the UK."

"The Aquarium hosts like to talk about all of their family of creatures, they are passionate about the animals in the aquarium and want to share that passion with you!"
