Tour 1 - Walk away from Jaywick
This is a circular tour around taking about 4-5 hours to walk (about 10.5
miles). The walk immerses us in the marshes, their flora and fauna. Our
recommended start is from the Car Park on Tamarisk Way in Jaywick but as its
circular you can start from anywhere.
Tour 2 - Walking back to happiness
This is a linear tour starting in Holland
on Sea and ending up in Jaywick. To walk it takes about 2-3 hours (about 5
miles). All along this fantastic seafront, through the fleshpots of Clacton and down past the golf course. Lovely !

Jaywick. Read by residents, visitors and workers in Jaywick this tour is a 3 ½
miles walk, taking approximately 2 hours. Alternatively download it and listen
