Crickmore Parks

Retirees need look no further if they are seeking an exceptional community devoted to making retired living as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Crickmore Parks has the perfect solution with Greenlawns Park in Essex. Located just 1.5 miles from Clacton-on-Sea, this resort town is perfect for those looking for a fun time. Any visitor to the east coast makes it one of their top destinations, and it is little wonder: it features clean, golden beaches; relaxing and lively night life; gorgeous seafront gardens; and sports on both the land and in the water.

Other attractions include the Princes and West Cliff Theatres. These venues are highly popular, attracting big names in the entertainment industry who make them a priority spot to hit. Retail therapy is also a distinct possibility, with shops located in both the town centre and in nearby Great Clacton. There is even a discount center, with Clacton Factory Shopping Village discounting prices as much as 60% off of retail. Annual events also add to the appeal of the Crickmore Parks’ development, such as an air show and a carnival and jazz festival.

Apart from Greelawns, Crickmore Parks has several other properties worth mentioning. One such area is Plumtree Park in Norfolk. This community is conducive to car-free living, with walking distance amenities such as a bus stop, a village store with post office, and a doctor’s surgery. The social and bowls club is also only 500 yards outside of the park.

Nearby to Plumtree Park is the town of Swaffham. This historic location was the site of all that flourished in the 18th century, and still has Georgian buildings to view and a domed rotunda. There is even a unique town legend about the Pedlar of Swaffham. According to the legend, a pedlar went to London and decided to throw himself off of the London Bridge. A stranger stopped him, telling him of a dream he had of treasure buried in a town far away. The Pedlar recognized the description of his own home, and returned to find two pots of gold buried in his garden. While most Crickmore Parks residents are not quite so lucky, the properties themselves are worth their weight in gold for the value and entertainment they bring to residents.
