#12 Tea and Scones, Walton on the Naze, England


The Naze Tower is an historic 86 ft landmark and unique visitor attraction situated on an attractive stretch of coastline at Walton-on-the-Naze, Essex. Over 8 stories, it houses art galleries, tearooms, shops, a museum and a viewing platform. During the heyday of nearby Walton-on-the Naze, the surrounding property was a golf course, but during WW II it was taken over for defense purposes.
The Naze Tower constructed 1720

The scones, jam and cream were the best ever!

 Rubye loved the "giraffes."

 The day we visited, it was cool and cloudy, with intermittent rain, which seemed a perfect day to stroll and view the spectacular North Sea and English seaports in the distance.
