Managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust, Two Tree Island sits on the Thames Estuary. It is popular for birdwatching and 3.5km circular walk round the island is possible direct from Leigh-on-Sea. In the past it has been a sewage treatment works and a landfill site and is now a beautiful area of reclaimed saltmarsh.

Beautiful Nature Reserve to explore while hiking the coastal path. Be aware of the Adders (snakes) though. I didn't see one, but the locals I spoke to confirmed that they're there.
