WHAT TO SEE
Start by exploring the historic cobbled streets of Old Leigh, where you’ll find a whole host of wooden huts selling locally-caught seafood. The waterfront path from Bell Wharf to Chalkwell makes for a lovely stroll and has a small stretch of beach where dogs can take a dip.
Birdwatchers will enjoy a visit to Two Tree Island, which is connected to the mainland by a bridge near Leigh on Sea station. This peaceful nature reserve has approximately 6km of gravelled trails to explore and is a great place to visit with your four-legged friend all year round.
