Point Clear

Hop on our ferry to Point Clear and enjoy a 2km half hour ramble along the St Osyth Sea wall or the St Osyth/Point Clear Coastal 6km walk.

Halfway through the walk you will discover St Osyth Boatyard which has been a port since 1214. It is now a working boat yard restoring Thames barges with numerous house boats to see.

Either one should be finished with a drink at the Ferryboat Inn or grab a cuppa and a slice of cake at T & Cake café before returning to Brightlingsea.
