During certain weeks of the year you can also take a trip on a paddle steamer to London and the East Anglia and Kent coasts or cruise the Thames on the MV Princess Pocahontas.
If you’re looking for open spaces for activities such as cycling, picnics or perhaps just a leisurely stroll, there are several parks close by, including Belhus Woods Country Park, which has its own golf club. Chafford Gorges Nature Park is also easily accessible with its 200 acres of green space for both local residents and wildlife to enjoy.
There are also two local parks: Grays Town Park located in the centre of Grays which boasts a large grassy open space, children’s play area and basketball and tennis courts, plus the popular Grays Beach Riverside Park. Overlooking the Thames, this much-visited park includes a sand pit play area, skate ramp, aerial zip-line, multi-use ball court and a large open grass field, perfect for picnics.
