Maldon is a small town of about 15,500 people in Essex on the Blackwater estuary.

We have a knack of visiting the coast at low tide but scenes such as this sailing vessel aground on the mud can be interesting.

By the time we'd had lunch the tide was starting to rise.

We'd parked in part of Promenade Park, part of the things for kids there is this "shower" water play area - the kids there seemed to be having a great time in it!
