Colchester lies 3 miles to the north with its comprehensive educational, recreational and commercial facilities, together with the two highly regarded boys’ and girls’ grammar schools. There is a regular main line rail service from Colchester directly into London’s Liverpool Station (55 minutes) and from Marks Tey (56 minutes). To the south is Mersea Island with plenty of opportunity for sailing and water sports at both Mersea and the surrounding coastline.
