Sales Point is the north-easterly point of the Dengie Peninsula. From here you look out over the mouth of the River Blackwater and out to sea. This area of shell bank or mudflat is especially important to breeding seabirds like the rare Little Tern, brent geese, knot, sanderling and grey plover. The trail around the edge of the nature reserve is good underfoot and allows for some fast flat running in a wild position.

The Chapel of St Peter-on-the-Wall is one of the oldest churches and oldest buildings still in regular use in the country. Built in 653 by Bishop Cedd it's been a small church for almost 2,000 years.

Small, friendly, independent cafe with a few indoor tables as well as a couple on the street. Open 9.00-4.00 every day serving sandwiches, toasties, wraps, bagels etc. as well as cake and coffee.

One of the oldest functioning buildings in the country, and built on the gateway of an even older Roman shore fort. The chapel is kept open for visitors. Be aware it's reached by a 0.7km unmade stone path after the tarmac ends at the car park - fine with a gravel bike or if you go carefully on a road bike in decent weather.

Gives views of the old quay of Burnham and the estuary of the River Crouch across towards Wallasea Island.

good way to complete a circuit across the River Crouch - a little expensive but something a bit different. £5 per adult and £2 per bicycle. Chap who runs it is lovely. You ring his mobile and he comes to get you. You get the ferry from the Harbourmaster's office. See Burnham ferry website for details

Built in 649 AD by St Cedd who sailed here from Lindasfarne, using the stones from an old Roman building. Open every day to look around.
