Frinton lies in the county of Essex, a large county
northeast of London with water on 2 sides. It has areas of flat
agricultural scenery, undulating and pretty that suited English
watercolourists. Narrow lanes wind through meadows past weather-boarded
mills and unfenced fields, while flinty church towers can be
seen from tree-lined hilltops. There are impressive historic
towns such as Colchester to visit and charming villages of old
houses such as Thaxted and Dedham.
