At the top you will see the breathtaking views of the Blackwater River meandering to Maldon and the estuary, along with the beautiful gardens below.

Mersea Island, 12 miles away, is connected to the mainland by a causeway and is home of the famous oysters which have been harvested off the island since Roman times, and are shipped worldwide.
