Are you craving a real holiday from the stress of the buzzing big city? Would you like the freedom to lie in late, breathe in the crisp air of the ocean, and enjoy tranquil, leafy settings amid the Essex backwater? If this sounds like your cup of tea, pack your swimming gear, buckets, spades, and wave a cheery goodbye to modern life as you replace the stress of modern life with the laidback atmosphere on Orchards Holiday Park. This cracking holiday park provides families, couples and sea-loving individuals with the frisky fun of nearby Clacton-on-Sea, yet offers many amenities to keep one entertained without stepping outside the gates. Set next to the historic village of St Osyth, boasting a 12th-century priory, this self-contained site has it all. Look forward to features like large and luxurious indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a couple of attractive coarse fishing lakes, excellent food, and entertainment facilities for all age groups. There are aqua jets, bowling, dance fitness sessions, and character Olympics, among other activities. Many are free of charge, and others range in price depending on the type of ticket purchased. Free children’s clubs for all ages, pedal boats, crazy golf, and more offer parents a welcome respite from the rambunctious youngsters – perhaps enough time to sneak in a welcome bevvy from the on-site pub. Dogs are welcome.
