Places to see in ( St Osyth - UK )
St Osyth is a village and civil parish in northeast Essex. It is about 5 miles west of Clacton-on-Sea, and about 12 miles southeast of Colchester. It is located on the B1027 road and is named after Osyth, a 7th-century saint and princess. The name is locally pronounced Toosey. St Osyth is claimed to be the driest recorded place in the United Kingdom.
Before being renamed to commemorate Saint Osyth, the village was called Chich (also Chiche or Chick), from an Old English word meaning bend, in reference to St Osyth Creek. Thomas Darcy, the first Baron Darcy of Chiche was buried in St. Osyth.
St Osyth was the subject of an episode of Channel 4's Time Team programme, Lost Centuries of St Osyth, (series 12 episode 9, first broadcast in February 2005). This programme sought to uncover the early origins of the village, which was presumed to have grown up at around the same time as the Priory, in the twelfth century. Many of the investigations around the current village centre found little evidence of settlement earlier than the fourteenth century; it appeared that the early village centre lay some way off, between the Priory and the river.
The village was a focus for the St Osyth witch persecutions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with a total of ten local women being hanged as a result. In 1921 the skeletons of two women were discovered in the garden of a house in the village. One was claimed to be the witch Ursley Kempe who was the first to be prosecuted. The skeletons became a local tourist attraction.
St Osyth is claimed to be the driest recorded place in the United Kingdom with an average rainfall of just 513 mm per year. Although a significant part of the parish boundary is coast which does not need to be beaten, St Osyth is one parish which maintains the tradition of beating the bounds on Rogation days.
The neighbouring settlement of St Osyth Beach contains Essex's largest concentration of static caravan parks, including Seawick, St Osyth Beach (owned by Park Holidays UK) & Hutleys. The holiday parks boost the local population in the summer months by an estimated 7,000 people. Part of the beach is usd by naturists for nude bathing.

WILD CAMPING ON ST. OSYTH NUDIST BEACH
I finished work early on a Friday night and decided on a spur of the moment to pack all my OEX gear and drive up to St. Osyth on the Essex coast to the isolated official nudist beach to wild camp for the night! There were severe weather warnings of high winds and heavy rain along the coast, making it perfect to test the OEX Foxx 1 tent in.

A St Osyth Caravan Holiday 1965 (near Clacton)
A sweet bit of home cine footage of a caravan holiday taken at St Osyth near Clacton in 1965. This includes shots of caravans, and a family enjoying the boats on the sea. Cine film of this period can often show Mediterranean holidays because many aspirational families of the time were keen to present themselves as part of the “jet set”....albeit that the jets seldom flew affordably beyond Spain. However, in reality, the bulk of British working class people were perfectly happy with an holiday in the UK at this time. Resorts like Clacton, Gt Yarmouth, Skegness, Brighton, Blackpool, and so on, were aimed for, and enjoyed by many. Indeed, many could aspire to no more than a holiday within the UK. And with weather willing, that could be the best in the world. Here is an example of how this was so.
