About Walton-on-the-Naze

In the Anglo-Saxon times the area was very much a farming community. It remained so until the 19th century when Walton transformed into a lively seaside resort attracting tourists from London and Ipswich who would arrive by steamboat. After the railway station opened in 1867, tourism increased further and it became a booming resort town with numerous hotels and guest houses, along with various attractions including a boating lake. Today, on sunny days, it draws families from all over the region who visit Walton to take part in traditional seaside activities such as strolling along the seafront, building sandcastles, enjoying fairground rides on the pier and eating fish and chips on the beach.

Things to Do – If you are organising removals in East Anglia to settle in Walton, there are plenty of things to do. The landmark octagonal Naze Tower was built in the early 18th century to aid shipping and is open to visitors daily from the end of March until November 1st. The tower has a museum, gallery and a viewing platform, where you can enjoy stunning panoramic views across the water and surrounding countryside.  Walton Pier is another attraction and has several amusements and fairground rides, including the Waltzers and Dodgem cars.
