Why You NEED To Visit LEIGH-ON-SEA In Essex!

Welcome back! Today the only way is ESSEX (sort of). Join me on this 4K walking tour of the beautiful town Leigh-On-Sea in the city of Southend. Located on the Thames Estuary just a 45 minute train ride from London, it’s a fantastic place to go in any season with a classic British seaside feel.
Starting out at the scenic nature reserve of Two Tree Island, I make my way past the marina, onto the cobbled streets of Old Leigh (famous for it’s seafood!), through to the sandy beach and finally up onto The Broadway with it’s artisan cafes and independent shops. Of course I’m joined by the wonderful pet accompaniment Mushu the dog! Leigh is full of historic pubs, restaurants and good coffee and is not somewhere to be missed! I even get a few glimpses of Southend pier.
So walk with me as I explore this idyllic coastal town and see why you should visit!

Hey Jack (I usually comment as John Cochrane). If I had known you were here I would have popped out and said hello. 🤪 The Ship Inn closed in 2017 and was going to be a 15 bedroom hotel but that plan has been rejected. You were looking out across at All Hallows on Sea the Isle of Grain is a bit further around the Kent coast. We have found some great bargains in the charity shops over the years. Great video btw.

Ah thanks so much John, really appreciate it. Shame about The Ship Inn being closed but hope it opens as something else at some point!

Loved the bit about “sniffing bums!”…..that was the dog. Definitely somewhere l would go because I love jellied eels and you can only get them at areas like that. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks Jack xx

[@jackryanmiller]

Ha ha ha thanks very much, we do love a jellied eel 🤪🤪

[@garyjackson1264]

That white bird was a little egret, part of the heron family.

[@jackryanmiller]

Cheers for that Gary, I did wonder!

I walk my dog on 2 tree every day where does he get post-apocalyptic from????? It used to be a waste tip back in the 50s before it was left to nature

[@jackryanmiller]

Yes the post apocalyptic thing was just a joke because there was not another soul around

Hi Jack I do love Leigh on Sea, your dog is so cute 👍😁 back in the 1990s we use to go to Leigjh on a Saturday and have a Fish Feast in Osbourne's. No one does Cockles like Leigh on Sea. Then we use to walk to Southemd and have Baileys Fish and Chips and Ice Cream at Rossi's at Westcliff. I remember being in the Peter Boat when 9/11 took place.Look forward to your next video 👍👍😁

[@jackryanmiller]

Ah thanks so much Lee. Sadly it’s my mate’s dog but I always bring him along! Glad you liked the video and I’ll be sure to try osbourne’s next time 🤪
