I spent most of my teenage summers in Clacton because I had a family member who owned a caravan there. And once i stated working my friends and I would hire a caravan there too while others opted for Spain or Greece etc. But we had so much fun in clacton we wouldn't have gone anywhere else.

Amazing video for a not much famous place. I am sure it will be much popular in coming days. Suggestion- it will be great if you add some information of price (ex- entry to water park, rides, beach huts, beach side tourist train, food stalls etc), also if you add information on how to commute to the beaches, which beach is best, may be a sort of how to cover the place, best area to stay, how many days…..this way the videos will be of great information to more and more users to plan.

If you stick to the seaside Clacton's quite nice. Don't go any further into town than the McDonalds and you'll have a good time of it. Having lived in the area it gets a lot a bad press being next door to Jaywick.

We visited Clacton on day trips during the last summer before the lockdown. The pier, beach, and gardens were all good. However, the Town Centre was a tip with drunks, druggies and beggars congregated in and around the High Street, and good restaurants and quality shops were few and far between. These days there is more to a day, or longer, at the Seaside than Fish n Chips, Burgers, and tatty gift shops. Those charged with regenerating Clacton should take a trip to Brighton to see how it's done.

[@carolynadams-hall6498]

Unfortunately we have two major points where drug addicts and alcoholics gather… one is supposed to be called Christmas Tree Island - we call it STRONGBOW SQUARE. The other one doesn’t have an official name but is known as Kronenberg Korna! The police just turn a blind eye to the problem, and in the main these ppl are harmless - except the the entrance to our flats is used as a local urinal/toilet - yes number 2s have been found! It’s also a ‘brilliant’ place to ‘Jack up.’ We regularly have to clean the alley of all sorts, needles, alcohol bottles, urine and number 2s!

[@kfkstuart]

I went last week and i used to go when i was young. I can see why people voted it the worst. The town centre is crap and pound shops and dodgy people. The food in the places we ate in were not great. The pier was ok actually. The beach is nice but most places are more developed and more to do. You can easily do everything in one day in Clacton. It needs work and regeneration. It is worth investing in the infrastructure. I have wonderful memories of when i was younger. Nightlife isnt the greatest.

Went here about a decade ago a few times with my mum. Really liked the experience. Unfortunately didn't have the money at the time to enjoy all of the attractions, but maybe if I go back to the UK someday, I will be able to enjoy it more. I would guess it's low rating would be because the places where people actually live are rougher than the seaside area, and because of it's proximity to Jaywick. Enjoyed the trip down memory lane!

After seeing this I thought I'd have a day out in Clacton. All in all it was pretty good on the pier and seafront and I enjoyed the gardens which I probably would have missed. I did find the town centre quite run down and scruffy and they obviously have a problem with seagull deposits everywhere. But overall no worse or better than any other faded victorian seaside resort.

[@antispindr8613]

Then again, are not the Seafront Gardens looking a bit tatty and in need of a make over? While the formal garden is colourful, does it not look like it is set in 1822? As for the bushes and planting in the informal garden, do they not need thinning to open up a link between the town and cliffs?

lol thanks however it was not click bate as was in a recent WHICH survey and I wanted to highlight that its not .. hence the question mark

[@leroyrs]

I have been there between the mid 70s and early 90s and always enjoyed it. I was shocked when I saw how it was rated. But to be honest it's still the nice place that I remember. Thx for sharing and cheers from Cologne.

Yeah here in Clacton it’s amazing I don’t know why it gets so much hate but that doesn’t change my opinion that I love my home

[@WalkWithMeTim]

agree!

[@RM-lj8bv]

I went there around 50 years ago. Nice then and looks nice now.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

agree!

[@janicemann2400]

Brilliant film of Clacton

[@WalkWithMeTim]

I think so 😉

[@101steel4]

I live near clacton and am amazed it got voted the worst. As you can see the pier, beach and gardens are lovely. And it's always absolutely packed in the summer, so someone must like the place lol.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Absolutely 💯

[@gutz323]

Generally people from Romford and Dagenham are the ones who like the place.

[@aniruddhatraveler]

Amazing video my friend.. Thanks for sharing.. Stay connected. Guys

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Thanks

[@Illy.87]

clacton is amazing, i went to sray there not long ago, its just the beach water, whenever it is windy, or rains the water turns a sort of orange-yellow colour, that is what i experienced, but the funfair is honestly pretty good overall and i think you should go visit it!

[@sheilaspence9562]

Beautiful clacton on sea. I wish i was there right now! 🙏☀️🤗🌞⭐😎🙋‍♀️

[@WalkWithMeTim]

You are ... virtually

[@paulinemaxwell7925]

the gardens are amazing x beautiful xxx

[@WalkWithMeTim]

very true

[@kkrispy2009P]

Great video nice pier and arcades in abustane who rates it the worst ever I think it's picturesque

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Haters lol

[@TheVolginator]

Being from Colchester, I've spent a lot of time here. The place is rough if you wander too far from the seafront. It's good enough, but I wouldn't want to spend a night out here lol

[@WalkWithMeTim]

but thats like most places

[@marieryan2541]

Hi Tim. Loved your video of Clatiton. Never been but now I want to go. But first Norfolk. Marie

[@WalkWithMeTim]

You should

[@spectrumwalkingtours]

Looks like a nice enough place, well worth a visit from the video impressions.

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Of course and defo when the sunshines

[@bluehoward1971]

I just been on holiday there in the middle of September for a week had a great time weather was fantastic but thought it was strange to have two big wheels next to each other

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Totally agree

[@penguinproductions8829]

We come to Clacton every year - the seafront is beautiful and the pier is fantastic, it feels like you slowly walk through its history as you walk from the newly refurbished arcade and rides to the old buildings at the very back.

[@jlewis997]

At least its still got the railway station. Some seaside places in Norfolk probably never recovered after losing their rail line back in the beeching cuts

[@WalkWithMeTim]

hasn't most towns tho?

[@jlewis997]

@@WalkWithMeTim yes you would be right in Norfolk. Only one far from a railway is Hunstanton. I would imagine caister would of benefitted

[@stevet1963]

Seemed lovely to me Tim, saying that when the suns shining most places look great 👍🏻 Take care fella enjoy your holiday 😊😊✌️

[@WalkWithMeTim]

Agree steve but the town is like any seaside town and needs a bit of tlc
