Day 1

Morning - Arrive in Leigh-on-Sea and breathe in lung-fulls of sea air as you wander along the beach. Pick up a memento of your trip in one of the independent boutiques and stores along the high street.

Afternoon - There's plenty of choice to grab a bite to eat in one of the independent cafes or, alternatively try some cockles and whelks at one of the fish bars along the seafront.

Next stop, Southend, only a short train ride away. Relax and unwind with a pre-booked treatment at Roslin Beach Hotel's Roslin Retreat Spa.  Enjoy a traditional fish and chip dinner at either The Three Shells or Sands restaurant before solving riddles at one of Escape Live’s themed breakout rooms.
