The Orchards
An Essex holiday park in an idyllic setting

Beach Icon Scallop Orchards

You’ll find us out on the furthest reaches of the Essex shoreline, on a little beachy bit of the coast part way between historic Colchester and Clacton-on-Sea with its fun-packed pleasure pier...

June Breaks from only £169
And if you come here you’ll find a range of activities designed to keep families busy, whether you’re splashing around in our pools, playing a round on our family pitch and putt course or relaxing by one of our fishing lakes. On top of that, you’ll find we’ve got a great choice of dining options for you to indulge in before, perhaps, allowing us to entertain you with one of our Live Lounge shows.
