Venue

Wickford Swim & Fitness Centre is set in the small town of Wickford in Essex.

Offering a range of water based activities including our award winning swim school, Swim 4 Fitness, Swim 4 All and fitness classes such as Aqua Fit, there is always something going on in the water at Wickford Swimming Pool.

Landguard Fort is the site of the last opposed seaborne invasion of England in 1667 and the first land battle of the Royal Marines. The current fort was built in the 18th century, and modified in the 19th century with substantial additional 19th-20th century outside batteries. 

Guided tours and audio tours of the fort are supplemented by an audio-visual presentation of the site’s history, and by guided tours of the outside batteries.

The nearby submarine mining building houses Felixstowe Museum’s Collections of local interest.

Try something new today: Bawdsey Quay Watersports offer a range of watersport courses for a range of abilities and ages, on some of the best coatline on the East of England.

A pretty thatched 13th century chapel with lancet windows.

There is no documentary evidence for the foundation of the Chapel of St James the Apostle at Lindsey.

The earliest parts visible today date from the 13th century, but worked stones reused in the present building suggest a previous building on the site from about the middle of the 12th century: the west wall contains several characteristically Norman fragments.
