Loved the nice touch where a mini bus service was provided to collect us from local train station (& return). A must visit👍🏻 · via Google [Jo Phillips](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109588572752591765601/reviews) ★★★★★ Grangewaters is such an incredible oasis. You arrive and have no idea what a hidden gem awaits you come along the driveway. I'm not going to say on here what will greet you as it will spoil the experience if you haven't been before but I was blown away. Then I saw a kingfisher within 5 minutes of being on site. If you live locally its worth keeping an eye on whats going on and becoming a regular. If you don't it would make a great day trip out. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d8b760b3fe52f7:0xa7e2addc62493140!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Buckles La, South Ockendon, RM15 6RS [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.5090910%2C0.3180989) **Category** Adventure & Activity Centres **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (21 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 4+ **Setting** Outdoor **Destination** South Ockendon [More attractions in South Ockendon](https://staycation.co.uk/south-ockendon/attractions) ★ 4.6 (21 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.thurrock.gov.uk/grangewaters/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01708 855228](tel:01708855228) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** South Ockendon **Postcode** RM15 6RS **Plus Code** 9F32G859+J6 [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x47d8b760b3fe52f7:0xa7e2addc62493140!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47d8b760b3fe52f7:0xa7e2addc62493140!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47d8b760b3fe52f7:0xa7e2addc62493140!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near South Ockendon Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
