The salt tang of the North Sea carries inland here, mingling with the earthy smell of working farmland just a mile from Clacton's beaches.

Grange Farm suits campers and campervan tourers who want seaside access without the static-caravan sprawl — dog owners should ring ahead to check the current policy, but the coastal paths and wide Essex beaches nearby make this prime territory for four-legged friends. It's straightforward touring-style camping in traditional East Anglian farmland, close enough to Clacton's pier and amusements for families wanting bucket-and-spade days, yet far enough out to escape the seafront buzz come evening.

Facilities are kept simple: showers and toilets onsite, nothing fancy. Check about campfires when you arrive — policy can vary depending on season and ground conditions. The vibe is unpretentious and relaxed, the sort of spot where you pitch up, shake the sand out of your towels, and settle in without fuss. It's coastal camping that remembers it's still a farm.

Stretches 128km across Essex from the Stour estuary to Harwich, passing through gentle farmland, historic market towns, and coastal marshes. Mostly flat terrain with occasional modest inclines, making it manageable for steady walkers though the full distance demands multi-day planning. Individual sections work well for families with older children, but length and some stile-heavy stretches make buggies impractical. Dogs welcome throughout on leads near livestock.
