Walton on the Naze, Essex
The setting for Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons, Walton on the Naze is a fascinating place to visit. The sandy beach and longest sea bound pier in Europe (2600 feet long) provide all the traditional beach activities, the cliff walks are interesting for their geology.
Something different for the children is fossil hunting in the clay below Red Crag Cliffs at low tide, who can be first to find a fossilised shark tooth!
