About this subsection
This subsection of the SMP extends from Bradwell Power Station to the edge of Burnham-on-Crouch.
Within this subsection of the SMP the tidal flood zone extends over a significant area of land historically drained for agriculture, with scattered farm buildings and some minor roads. The inter-tidal fringe of salt marsh and mud flat that remains forms the Dengie National Nature Reserve and is legally protected for its internationally important wildlife. Sites of historic and visitor interest in the tidal flood zone include Othona Roman fort, a Saxon shore fort, the chapel of St Peter on the Wall and the remains of a very large Saxon fish-trap at Sales.
