Art Deco houses in Frinton-on-Sea and birds and butterflies at The Naze in late April 2025

I walked from Walton-on-the-Naze to Frinton-on-Sea and viewed some Art Deco houses from the beach hut area down below the cliffs

Then I wandered along the top of the cliff where there were several houses with sea views and others along the small side roads - all looked fantastic!

This one was for sale - dreaming!!!!

 

Back in Walton-on-the-Naze there were beach huts in tiers

A Pied Wagtail was looking for the Naze Tower
