About
From the Isle of Sheppey, Southend looks so close but yet it so far often taking an hour and a half (or sometimes longer) to travel from Kent to essex via the Dartford Bridge.
Join us on this fantastic day out to once again have fish and chips on the beach, visit Adventure Island or ride the train to the end of the pier on a picturesque cruise that aims to give you about 6 hours of free time ashore.
Note: Southend Pier is accessible via a steep ramp. This is not suitable for wheelchairs or for the mobility impaired.
