Overview

Meet: the free Bosun Marine car park W3W: kicks.preoccupied.plus This is reached by a turning off the A13, passing Pitsea station, the Visitor Centre, and continuing to the southern end of the Wat Tyler Park.  A short walk bursting with history – salt production; dynamite; WWII. A vast nature reserve and an art trail. In a park which commemorates the leader of the Peasants’ Revolt in 1381.

 

There is a kiosk off the Village Green which serves sandwiches & hot drinks. Most visitors bring picnics which they consume on the Green.

For a more substantial meal The Gun, http://www.thegunpub.co.uk/  01268 551 506 on the London Road, SS13 2DU might fit the bill.
