The area around Brightlingsea.
Brightlingsea is an estuary town on the Colne, with a long maritime history, a strong sailing and oyster tradition, and colourful beach huts along the waterfront. It sits at the end of a single road, which gives it a self-contained character and a close community. Boatyards, marine trades and summer visitors matter to the local economy, while many residents commute to Colchester. Local businesses benefit from being clearly based in the town, since people here prefer not to wait for firms travelling in, and should name nearby Thorrington and Alresford.
