브래드웰-온-시 최고의 라이딩 경로

RV and tent pitches behind pub. Agree about the shower block, new and well-looked after. Also four double rooms available at £75 a night. Pub open every day from noon. Kitchen open for lunch and dinner every day except Monday. Great base for exploring the area.

Ensure you check the local tide table as the Strood often floods at high tide.

Campsite at the back of the pub. Great if your touring/bikepacking. Good shower block

Give yourself plenty of time to complete the walk. It started getting dark so instead of finishing we diverted and headed home to Bradwell. Not the prettiest or most scenic of routes as its mainly just field after field.

Nice location by a little green square. There's a decent cafe opposite as well.

The only road access to Mersea so make sure you don't spend too long on the island if the tide has started to turn or you could have a long wait to leave again.

The seafront road rises up slightly to give wide views across the Blackwater estuary towards the Dengie Peninsula opposite, with the bulk of Bradwell nuclear power station looming over the far coastline.

Great view across the estuary of the River Crouch and Bridgemarsh Island beyond from the high ground on the Althorne ridge. Best seen when heading west as road is often busy though.
