Why not take a tour of Jaywick
For those of you that are energetic, or can't move from the
computer, why not take our audio tour or one of our internet tours?
Otherwise print out and
take the guide with you on your walk.
The audio tour is simple, just download an MP3 file and a map, and then
playback on your phone or MP3 player whilst wandering around Jaywick.
Also by using Google Maps we have put together three DIY mapped tours
on the internet with pictures and decriptions of places to see.
Just
navigate your way around by clicking on the points of interest. You can
use the mouse to drag the map around and zoom in and out using the
slider at the top left. You can also view these tours in Google Earth
(you'll need to register and download the program first, but then just
click the link in the maps saying "View in google earth").
Tour 1 - Walking 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 !
Tour 3 - Jaywick Nights (Walking back to happiness: reprise)
A quick one in Jaywick and a sample of night life.
Tour 4 - Let the waters roll down..
This is an audio
tour which encompasses the history, wildlife and
people of Jaywick. Read by residents, visitors and workers in Jaywick
this tour is a 3 ½ miles walk, taking approximately 2 hours.
You can do all or just part of it. Alternatively download it and listen
from your armchair, on the bus or
in the car.
