Area Information
The Guardian weekend magazine (17.03.07) said of Wivenhoe... "What's going for it? How did this one slip through the net? A miracle! A miracle! That very, very rare beast: something lovely and affordable within commuting distance of London. A sweet-as-apple-pie fishing town with a direct rail link to Liverpool Street in 55 minutes and glorious property for a song. Historic Colchester, with its university and history and good shops and growing arts and cultural life, is four miles north. The underrated Colne Estuary and Essex coast, and overrated Dedham Vale Constable Country on your doorstep. Good schools. A proper, "real" town with proper people living in it, including, for a limited period only, genuine fishermen. Corduroyed boffins from Essex University on the edge of town. Resident artists add a cosmopolitan edge. Well connected? You bet. Hourly/half-hourly trains to London (55 minutes) and Colchester (5 minutes). Road, the A12 is on the other side of Colchester: The A120 to Stansted (45 minutes). Schools The town's two primaries, Millfields and Broomgrove, are both "good", says Ofsted. To Colchester for secondaries: Colchester Royal Grammar gives "an excellent academic education" and its County High School for Girls is "outstanding". Hang out at ... The Tudor Tea Rooms for cream tea followed, if room, by pie and ales at The Black Buoy. From the streets of Wivenhoe ... Bill Sheate "Be car-free and feel smug - Wivenhoe has great public transport. Community engagement means development by the river is high quality and well controlled." Robert Quinn "There's great walking, and it's 20 minutes from the beach (Point Clear or Clacton). But there is a shortage of large, older properties."
