Meet Swingers and doggers at the main dogging sites in Essex, including major towns and cities: Chelmsford, Basildon, Romford, Southend, Colcheter, Harlow, Brentwood and West Ham.

Barkingside

• Fairlop Water, Barkingside Essex. There are two car-parks. Car-park one (close to the pub) is good after 8/9 pm and this park closes around 11.30 pm. Car-park 2 is good for mid-day sex. Closes around 6pm.

Basildon

• Langdon Hills Country Park. Park outside the Church in the road sign posted One Tree Hill (off Dry Street) walk back to Dry Street and up the footpath into the woods. Some gay action at this dogging site, but plenty of wooded area for couples and doggers.

Chigwell

• A small car-park opposite the Camelot Pub in Chigwell. You can often watch couples fucking on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11pm onwards.

Clacton

• Holland Haven Country Park, situated on the coast between Clacton and Frinton-on-Sea. A big place, but some car fun is to be found with occasional joining in.

Colchester

• Dogging in Colchester can be found at the car-park in Friday Woods on Friday and Saturday nights after 10.30. Quite a few couples in cars.

• There's also a great dogging site at a place called Cudmore Grove, on Mersea Island.
  On the A120 between Colchester and Braintree. Going towards Braintree on the A120 go past the third turning on the left to Coggeshall then look for a white P on a blue background sign, Layby unseen from road as is behind trees, action all the time, mostly gay, but some couples for dogging at night.

Danbury Ford

• The long grass has been mowed recently but still an active dogging site. Follow road out of Boreham Village towards Danbury, on back road about 1 mile after bridge over river, turn left where signposted to FORD, half a mile down on right, park up, walk into field, go down to bottom, hang around for a while, and have fun.

Hainault Forest and Country Park

• There are two car parks here but the furthest one is where all the dogging happens. Also, people leave their cars & go into the woods for action too.

Hutton

• Church Road, Hutton off Hanging Hill Lane and Hall Green Lane. Opposite the church itself, there is parking for about 4 cars with a footpath and some woods right on the edge of the parking area. Great action for voyeurs some nights.

Leigh-on-Sea

• In the bushes off the bridleway on the edge of Belfairs Park Golf Course. Most weekend evenings in the summer. Mainly straight but some gay. Very open and friendly for dogging.
  Behind Leigh-on-Sea station via side road is a large amount of parking by the sea wall (not the station car-park) or further down over narrow bridge is tarmac parking by the boat slipway.

• (Similar to above but...) Leigh Marshes - just behind Leigh-on-Sea Station. Go to 2 tree island, past the golf range, over the bridge. Car park on left, and opposite this car park. Walk to the furthest bird hide, amongst the many bushes and undergrowth.

Romford

• Halfway House on A127 between Romford and Southend. A fantastic dogging site, with action all the time. Going towards Southend from Romford, approx 10m on left, look for a pub called The Halfway House, turn into their car park, drive past the front and out onto lane on right, turn left onto lane and almost immediately on left park on road, go into field and walk around, won't be long before you encounter some dogging action. This site is actually part of Thorndon Country Park, so look out for dog walkers etc., but most people are there for the same reason as you, so go on, have loads of fun.

St Osyth

• St Osyth Official Nudist Beach. Follow the signs to St Osyth, and enter via Hutleys Caravan Park. You can park on the beach from the end of May. Most action takes place from 4pm till 9pm when the beach closes. Gays use the far end of the beach.

Witham

• In the bushes and trees by the disused toilet on the Chelmsford end of Witham - very active most nights, mostly gay but some couples too.
