About the event

Following the cessation of farming activity nearly 100 years ago, The Naze has been used for many activities. Many of which are poorly documented, and some not recorded at all. All have influenced the way The Naze appears today. This walk will reveal: Golf Course, Anti-aircraft Battery, Radar Station, Rocket Testing Range, Potential Holiday Camp and finally, a Public Open Space. Also, the work of John Weston with his "gang" of teenagers in creating the John Weston Nature Reserve and planting all the trees is revealed through Gerald's personal recollections.

We shall also take in whatever wildlife we may encounter, though sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear for uneven terrain.
