Offering families and thrill-seekers a range of activities including ten pin bowling and rides, this summer attraction could make for a memorable road trip
A popular summer attraction has been named one of the best things to do in Europe – and it is not too far from Cambridge. Clacton Pier in Essex has been given a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award.
The busy destination has ranked 17th in Europe in the Amusements and Water Parks category. The pier welcomes thousands of visitors annually and hosts a variety of seasonal events throughout the year, including fireworks displays, Oktoberfest, and Halloween activities.
Clacton Pier is well-accustomed to high recognition. Last year, it was hailed as one of the best three piers in the UK by the Daily Express. It’s a free-to-visit pier, although some attractions and rides may require tickets or tokens.
From Cambridge, it takes approximately 90 minutes to get to Clacton Pier by car depending on traffic. The drive is well worth the wait as visitors can enjoy ten pin bowling, darts, ‘shufl’, adventure golf, and a range of rides to please the thrill seekers.
The TripAdvisor awards acknowledge the highest-rated experiences and attractions around the world based on millions of reviews and ratings from its global community. The Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh has been crowned the top attraction in the world.
Reviews on Tripadvisor by previous visitors only highlight the pier’s popularity. One person said: “I went to Clacton Pier on firework night and it was the best experience I could have possibly had.”
Others described the pier as a “fantastic” day out with “great service” and “great value for money”.
