Wallasea Island (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wallasea Island lies in Essex, England. It is bounded to the north by the River Crouch, to the south east by the River Roach, and to the west by Paglesham Pool and the narrow Paglesham Creek.Much of the island is farmland, and wheat is the main crop. A small settlement at its western end is linked by road to the mainland and is home to a campsite and marina. It is linked by a ferry to Burnham-on-Crouch.It is possible to walk for about 8 miles around most (but not all) of the sea wall. The south side of the island is one of the most tranquil places in Essex. Here you can see wildlife typical of open farmland such as skylarks, corn buntings and hares. Not far away, on the opposite side of the estuary of the River Roach, you can see Foulness Island and Potton Island.
