Welcome to Tendring

Tendring is a district located in the northeastern part of Essex, England. It is a coastal district that is bordered by the North Sea to the east and the River Stour to the north. The district is made up of several towns and villages, including Clacton-on-Sea, Harwich, and Manningtree. Tendring has a rich history that dates back to the Roman times, and there are several historical landmarks and attractions that visitors can explore.

One of the most popular attractions in Tendring is the Clacton Pier, which is a Victorian pier that was built in 1871. The pier is over 500 meters long and has several attractions, including an amusement arcade, a bowling alley, and a rollercoaster. Another popular attraction is the Harwich Redoubt Fort, which was built in 1808 to defend the town against French invasion. The fort is now a museum that showcases the history of the fort and the town.

Tendring is also known for its beautiful beaches, which attract thousands of visitors every year. The beaches in Tendring are some of the best in the country, and they offer a range of activities, including swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. The district is also home to several nature reserves and parks, including the Walton-on-the-Naze Nature Reserve and the Weeleyhall Wood Nature Reserve. These reserves are home to a range of wildlife and offer visitors the chance to explore the natural beauty of the area.
