Tendring
§ This page provides an overview of a UK's local authority district, bringing together various information to help you better understand this district.
Tendring is a coastal district in north-east Essex, centred on the seaside resort of Clacton-on-Sea, with its pier, beaches, and holiday facilities. Other coastal towns include Walton-on-the-Naze, with its sandy beaches and nature reserves, and Harwich, a historic port town with maritime heritage. Inland villages and countryside contrast with the busy coast, and the district’s peninsular geography means it is surrounded by water on three sides, bordered by the North Sea, River Stour, and River Colne. Its coastline, historic towns, and seaside attractions make it a diverse and distinctive district.
The local authority for this district is: Tendring District Council - responsible for district-level services. Since Essex is a two-tier area, county-level services are handled by: Essex County Council.
