    Three great things about Essex

    350 miles of coastline

    Essex’s huge coastline is home to traditional seaside towns, subtle remnants of history and and all-important breath of fresh sea air. Walk along the Sunshine Coast from Clacton to Frinton to experience it in all its glory.

    Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

    A quaint and quiet change of scenery, Dedham Vale is home to lush greenery, riverside strolls and traditional places to eat. It’s one of the best days out in Essex for all the family, and is very close to Orchards Holiday Village.

    Home to Britain’s oldest city

    The historic centre of Colchester, Britain’s oldest city, is great for grandparents, parents and children alike. The corner of Essex we call home also boasts one of Britain’s smallest towns – Manningtree, and the country’s largest villages – Tiptree, home to the famous jam! 

    Things to do in Essex

    Top things to do for

    Essex is full of attractions that draw visitors from far and wide. There's so many family-friendly places to visit and enjoy. Get the most out of this revered region and see some of our favourite things to do!

    Colne Point Nature Reserve

    St Osyth Priory

    This historic setting can trace its origins all the way back 700 AD. Along with its main residence, Darcy House, it’s home to stunning parkland and leisure venues that make for a prime relaxation spot in the area.
    Frinton Beach

    Clacton to Frinton coastal walk

    Take advantage of the beautiful Essex coastal setting on a walk from Clacton to Frinton. The two contrasting seaside towns each offer something different, with lively Clacton giving way to quieter shores the closer you get to Frinton. You can always extend your stroll to Walton, which brings its own Essex charm.
    Point Clear Beach, Essex

    Walk from Point Clear to Clacton

    With a base at Orchards, a walk from Point Clear to Clacton is a delight throughout the year. Admire the Essex seaside as Clacton Pier slowly becomes more visible in the distance. There are regular bus services for the journey back towards your holiday home.
    Brightlingsea promenade

    Boat across to Brightlingsea

    A foot ferry handily connects a port in Point Clear, which is a very short walk from us, over the bay to Brightlingsea. It’s the easiest way to pop into this quaint Essex town, and there are also connections to East Mersea on Mersea Island.
    Curve Water Sports

    Curve Water Sports

    This St Osyth spot is a stone’s throw away from Orchards and hosts an outdoor inflatable assault course that’s incredible fun for all the family!
    Clacton Pier

    Clacton Pier soft play centre

    Take the youngest in the family to this centre of fun on Clacton Pier. There’s a soft section just for tots and a main ball pit for when they get slightly older. You can tie it in with everything else on the pier too!
    Freeman Street Market

    St Osyth Beach Sunday Market

    This Sunday Market just steps from the beach in Seawick is a must visit throughout the year for any caravan owner at Orchards. Pick up a bargain or two, enjoy some classic food and tie it in with a walk along the beach. It’s a brilliant way to start any Sunday.
    Performers opening the red curtains.

    Princes Theatre, Clacton

    With shows and performances throughout the year, Princes Theatre in Clacton is your go-to cultural venue when you’re an owner in Essex. Check its itinerary in advance and book an evening or two. This is an ideal place to bring guests that might stay with you or join you at Orchards.
    Bourne Mill, Colchester

    Bourne Mill, Colchester

    This National Trust landmark is an idyllic traditional English setting, with the picturesque mill overlooking water. The historic structure still has a working water wheel, and dogs are welcome on site. It’s more than enough to make you consider a National Trust membership, which gets you free entry.

      Frequently asked questions

      What do our caravan owners in Essex like about our park in the region?

      "It's so relaxing, great to walk our dog on the beach off her lead, could never do that in London. All the staff are very friendly and helpful and the park is kept very clean. The entertainment is very good and we love the bingo, gym and spa. The owners discount is a big saving on the park. Best thing we ever did!" Eleanor Doris - Owner at Orchards

      "I consider my holiday home as my "happy home". It is a great time for the family to be together, something we rarely manage to do at our residential house. It is a great way to bond together as a family." Jim Buckley - Owner at Orchards

      Our holiday home gives us a place to get away to and we see our family nearby more often and we meet new friends - other caravan owners and friendly staff. Mr and Mrs Renshaw - Owners at Orchards

      Why are static caravans in Essex so popular?

      Essex is as charming as it is convenient, located close to the large lights of London but with an ambience that may as well be on a different planet. It’s been a popular escape from the hustle and bustle for decades, and its unique combination of characteristics make it a magnet for holiday home ownership. Clacton-on-Sea is arguably the home of the caravan holiday, and you can enjoy its amenities and events all-year-round by purchasing one of our caravans for sale.

      Where can I buy a static caravan in Essex?

      Orchards Holiday Village is a magnificent place to base your second home, idyllically sitting at the end of the Point Clear Peninsula, perfectly neighbouring the North Sea and the calm waters of Brightlingsea Bay.
