Leigh-on-Sea’s history as a fishing village dates back to the mediaeval era. The Old Town continues to be a major fishing area. The picturesque cockle sheds which are relatively unchanged since being built in the 19th century, and the numerous restaurants serving fresh seafood, attract locals and tourists alike. Its many independent shops and galleries make it an excellent place for a day trip.
