"Great return trip across to Queenborough from Southend. Very informative commentary on journey across. Staff very friendly and helpful. Queenborough was a very important strategic port over the last few centuries. Amazing links to Royalty. Great museum for 50p entrance. Lovely old church with painted wooden ceiling. Lovely pub and cafe close to each other. Close ups of big container ship on way back! Great day out!" - TripAdvisor
