About

Walton ward covers the northern part of the town of Walton-on-the-Naze, a coastal settlement in the Tendring district. The area includes the town's residential streets, local shopping parades, and the notable Naze Tower, an 18th-century landmark on the eroding clay headland. Its coastline features the Naze itself, a peninsula of open grassland and cliffs that is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The ward extends inland from the coast, encompassing areas like Burnt Heath. It is characterised by a mix of housing types, from older terraced homes to modern developments. The economy is oriented around local retail and services, with tourism focused on the seafront and the Naze's ecology. The landscape is defined by its position beside the North Sea, with the creeks and marshes of Hamford Water lying immediately to the west.
