So we love a good trip to the seaside, whatever the weather. A favourite spot about an hour and a half drive from Hackney is Mersea Island, an unspoiled place that even this year seemed to avoid hordes of tourists. It's an estuarine island in Essex, not far from Colchester, that at certain high tides gets cut off from the mainland - so check the tides! We visited Mersea during one of our summer weekend escapes but definitely plan to go back. There are two main areas to visit. West Mersea is where you’ll find a 1950s vibe, the best seafood spots (check out @thecompanyshed), the marina, and pastel-colored beach huts. In terms of nature, there’s a great #crabbing spot on the pontoon, as well as some lovely estuarine shoreline walks where you can pick up copious sun-bleached oyster shells from the Colchester Natives oysters. East Mersea is mainly farmland and caravan parks, but it's worth a visit for the Cudmore Grove Country Park, which features meadows, grassland (watch out for adders!), forests, and a lovely sandy beach, plus lots of opportunities here for #birdwatching and #cycling. There’s also a foot ferry across to Brightlingsea. We didn’t stay on the island when we visited, instead, we stayed at the @featherdownuk glamping site at Layer Marney. How to get there: By public transport, take the train from London Liverpool Street to Colchester. You can then take a bus or a taxi from Colchester - a cab will take about 20 minutes. The fastest way from Hackney or north London is to drive however, using the A12 until you turn off and follow various wiggly roads - best to refer to Google Maps! #seaside #merseaisland #mersea #essex #westmersea #birdwatching #familyactivities #seashore #shells #estuary #cudmoregrovecountrypark #hackneyoutdoors #londondaytrips #explorenature #essex (at Mersea Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGUaTEaBGfk/?igshid=1580f28pg7rjr

Hubby is quite at home in #mtephraimgardens, and not just because it belongs to some of his #Dawes relatives, but because the #gardens are incredibly beautiful. It’s a wonderful place to #visit, even if #traveling to #Faversham, #Kent is a #sidetrip. It is worth every minute. #UK, #englandtourism #arboretum #touring #londondaytrips https://www.instagram.com/p/B77Va3khMSu/?igshid=w5q8zuqhhv9x

I always forget the amazing scenery and landscapes we have in the UK. Absolutely in awe of the brutalist landscape here. You can just imagine how harsh the icy winds are in the winter and how cosy it is inside the minimalist log fire heated beach houses. #dungeness #bestoftheuk #londondaytrips #photography #photooftheday (at Dungeness National Nature Reserve)

Day trip fail! Traveled to Hatfield to see Queen Elizabeth I's house, which is closed until April. So we looked at this seemingly abandoned church then Ubered to St Albans. #londondaytrips #hatfieldhouse (at Saint Etheldreda Church of England)
