You can get the foot ferry to Brightlingsea from Cudmore Grove or you can drive there if you fancy a day out. It's nice for a wander around and has good fish and chip shops.

This is a lovely area to visit. You can park there for a fee and there are also toilets near the car park. It has a good children's play area and you can walk for miles. You can get the foot ferry from here to Brightlingsea but I recommend you check the times as sometimes there is only one an hour. Lovely place to visit and is a short drive from the site.
