Tollesbury, Essex, UK
SEE MY TRAVEL WEBPAGES:
Tollesbury is located very close to the coast at the mouth of the River Blackwater in Essex. We see in this film the large expanses of marsh which floods more or less twice a month so it is not the place to leave your vehicle unattended.
There was a strong wind the day I visited, which I assume is quite common. The result is that at times it is a little difficult to hear what I have to say about the power plant in the distance and my opinion of those that protest against wind farms.
We can also see the parish church of Tollesbury which was built just after the Norman Conquest, possibly using bricks from the Roman fort which was nearby. If so, this would mean that the materials are almost 2,000 years old. Construction materials include rubble, flint and conglomerate walling with freestone quoins. Parts are also Tudor such as the doorway. and the tower parapet walls and pinnacles are from the 17th century. Buttresses are made from flint and brick which is common for East Anglia.
As can be seen in the film, I managed to park in two locations although I would not want to stop the night in either - in the first case because of the danger of flooding and in the second because of the noise.

KELVEDON HATCH PUB WALK (13/7/17)
I had some time to kill before work on a Thursday so I headed out to a local village to do a 3.5 mile pub based walk around Kelvedon Hatch and Doddinghurst. It was only 10 minutes drive from my house and 5 minutes from where I work. Yet I saw places I had never seen before, thus proving that you can explore and have a mini adventure right on your doorstep. Sort of!
Apologies for the lack of focus in the woodland sections of the walk, the lighting was poor and my phone camera doesn't like forests, unless it's on selfie mode. Either I need a better camera or I just need to brush up on my filming skills. More like both!
Places to see in ( Fordingbridge - UK )
Places to see in ( Fordingbridge - UK )
Fordingbridge is a town and civil parish with a population of 6,000 on the River Avon in the New Forest District of Hampshire, England, near to the Dorset and Wiltshire borders and on the edge of the New Forest. It is 81 miles (130 km) southwest of London, and 10 miles (16 km) south of the city of Salisbury. Fordingbridge is a former market town. The Avon Valley Path passes through the town.
Fordingbridge is a town and civil parish in Hampshire on the banks of the River Avon. The first Great Bridge, from which the town received its present name, was built in mediaeval times, and is upstream from the ford. The bridge is a major feature of the town with its seven graceful arches, which can be seen very easily from the town's large riverside park where one can walk along the riverbank draped with willows and waterside plants. Close by is a children's play area, secluded memorial gardens, parks and sports playing fields. A bronze statue of the painter Augustus John stands on the banks of the Avon near the Great Bridge.
Not far from the High Street is the parish church of St. Mary the Virgin which has some typical Norman characteristics. Lands in Fordingbridge and the advowson of the church were granted to King's College, Cambridge in 1447 by Henry VI, after being given to the Crown by Humphrey, Duke of Buckingham.
The Fordingbridge Museum, which houses local history exhibits, and the Visitor Information Centre are located in King's Yard. There is also a Roman villa in the nearby village of Rockbourne, which is open to visitors during the summer. The local comprehensive school is The Burgate School And Sixth Form Centre, which is situated in Burgate, a small hamlet to the north of the town. Fordingbridge Hospital is a small community hospital on the site of a Victorian workhouse. Most of the old buildings remain but the inpatient ward is a more recent addition. The town's medical centre is on the same site in Bartons Road
Since 1982 Fordingbridge has been twinned with Vimoutiers in Normandy. Fordingbridge is also home to Fordingbridge Turks FC, one of the 50 oldest football clubs in England, established circa 1868. The Turks name seems to derive from wishing to emulate the determination shown by Ottoman forces at Siege of Plevna. The recreation ground is also home to Fordingbridge Rugby Club, who have been one of the more successful Hampshire clubs in recent years.
The parish of Fordingbridge contains the hamlets of Burgate to the north, Criddlestyle to the east, Bickton to the south, and Ashford to the west. Burgate and Bickton are settlements dating back to the time of the Domesday Book, and in fact Bickton was a larger settlement than Fordingbridge in 1086. Criddlestyle is an ancient manor, also known as East Mill, with a history dating back to the 14th century. The largest hamlet today is Ashford, which was the location of an ancient watermill, and was the location of Fordingbridge railway station until it was closed in 1964.
The first bridge at Fordingbridge was built before 1252, when the bailiff and men of the town received a grant of pontage for one year towards its repairs. A custom which survived until 1840 obliged the lord of Fordingbridge during one summer month known as fence month to keep the bridge guarded and arrest anyone found taking venison from the New Forest.

Temple Church - TOP 50 THINGS TO DO IN LONDON - London Guides
SUPPORT MY CHANNEL ON PATREON ➜
In this London Guide Joolz Guides visits The Temple Church.
Situated just off Fleet Street in an area called Temple Inn is on of London's most beautiful treasures. The Temple Church was built over 800 years ago for the famous order of the Knights Templar.
You might recognize the Temple Church from the film The Da Vinci Code where Tom Hanks comes with Audrey Tautou but in real life it has great significance regarding the signing of the Magna Carta.
Buried in the church are numerous Knights Templar, one of whom was William Marshal, the greatest Knight of his age. The Knights Templar were very rich and powerful people and it was he who ultimately saw to it that the Magna Carta got signed. You can see an efigy of him on the floor alongside other Knights Templar in the Temple Church.

Coggeshall Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Essex, and around nine miles west of Colchester, is the town of Coggeshall.
Geographically, Coggeshall is situated adjacent to the River Blackwater, and along Stane Street - an ancient Roman road spanning from Colchester to the village of Braughing in Hertfordshire.
In 1140 Coggeshall Abbey was founded by King Stephen and Queen Matilda, and remained here until 1538 at the time of Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. One building from the abbey survives to this day, namely Grange Barn, seen at the very start of the walk. This was built in the 13th century, and was the abbey's tithe barn, i.e. place where taxes were collected from farmers, specifically one tenth (or 'tithe') of their produce. Today the Grange Barn is owned by the National Trust.
From around the 15th century, Coggeshall prospered as a centre for wool production. Many of the historic buildings seen around the town are a product of this industry which helped fund their construction. St Peter ad Vincula Church, seen at the very end of the walk, dates from the 15th century. Paycocke's House, seen just before the 8-minute mark, dates from circa 1500, and was built by cloth merchant John Paycocke, who ordered its construction as a wedding present for his son and daughter-in-law.
The railway era of the 19th century missed out Coggeshall. The nearest station to the town today is Kelvedon, which is situated just over two miles away. Regular buses between Colchester and Braintree stop at Coggeshall.
The phrase 'Coggeshall job' is believed to originate from around the 17th century. It alludes to stories regarding the supposed silly nature of the locals. Examples of this phenomenon include an instance where the church only chimed 11 times at noon, upon which the townsfolk rode to the neighbouring town to 'collect' the missing chime. Or when a cow was winched up to the roof of the church in order to eat the grass growing there.
In August of 2023, YouTuber @AlexinGreatBritain (who bears an uncanny resemblance to myself) crowned Coggeshall the prettiest town in Essex.

You won't believe what we found in Essex: A secret Nuclear Bunker in Kelvedon Hatch
You won't believe what we found in Essex… A secret Nuclear Bunker in Kelvedon Hatch, in Brentwood Essex. We even had the privilege of having an exclusive interview with the owner, Mike Parrish. It is a large underground bunker maintained during the Cold War, as a potential Regional Government Headquarters.
The Bunker had three main lives. Initially as an RAF ROTOR Station and latterly a Regional Government Headquarters, with a brief period in the 1960s as a Civil Defence Centre.
There were also spare bunk beds in the tunnel, to help accommodate some of the hundreds of civilian and military personnel that would be stationed here in the time of a nuclear attack. The bunker was built on land requisitioned from the local farmer J.A. Parrish.
Paradoxically as the heat of the Cold War died down, the bunker and its ancillary systems were no longer required by the government and were costing up to 3 million pounds a year to keep on standby. Upon decommissioning in 1992, the bunker was bought back from the government by the Parrish family, at a closed bid public auction, and hence is now privately owned.
