Seawick Essex hotels:

Great Oakley Hall to Clacton-on-Sea walk....... Perhaps the most amazing thing for me about Walton and Frinton were all the beach huts. As I walked along the sea wall between these two towns the beach huts were stacked up sometimes four deep away from the wall. They were all various colours, from sky blue to creosote to light yellow, and I could not believe how many of them there were. It made me wonder how much more expensive a hut right next to the wall (with easiest access to the beach) is to one of the ones further up the slope where you would have to walk past al the other huts to get to the sea. Frinton -on-Sea is, for me, immortalised as 'bloody Frinton' in a sketch by Dudley Moore and Roger Cook, and I found it very hard not to burst out shouting that as I walked along past all the huts. To be fair, I did not see much of Frinton as I did not walk along the cliff tops but kept going along the seawall, so it could be quite a nice town, but to me it will always be associated with all those beach huts..................
