The salt marsh at Paglesham Pool preserves traces of past oyster cultivation, evident in rows and rectangular pool-shaped depressions. Further downstream, attention is drawn to a substantial box-shaped structure - the rusted metal core of a shipwrecked wooden vessel. A handful of derelict boats rest near the oyster beds, and just beyond, concealed beneath the marshland, lies the remains of the HMS Beagle.

The Parish Church of St. Nicholas, dating back to the 14th century, graces the village's High Street and commands a ridge with panoramic views of the River Crouch. The remarkable 15th-century tower, a distinctive landmark visible from afar, is attributed to King Henry V, believed to have been built in commemoration of his triumph at the Battle of Agincourt in France.

The woodland offers a network of pathways, including some extended routes, under the care of the Hawkwell Parish Council. This nature reserve once served as a brickworks, with the memorial standing at the entrance, and remnants of this industry are still visible. The picturesque circular trail guides you along with adjacent tracks and fields. Be sure to watch for the wealth of local wildlife, particularly the songbirds.

No sign of the Beagle but a beautiful, very 'Essexy' spot.

Great views over South East Essex

Gorgeous 15th C Church, restored in 1883 by local man Zachary Pettitt who married the daughter of a local oyster merchant. Touching stained glass window dedicated to his lost children. Complete with mounting block to help you onto your horse after Sunday service.

Beware.

St. Nicholas Church at Canewdon dates back to the 1300s, with the later tower built to commemorate the Battle of Agincourt. Many local legends surround the church, reputed as the most haunted church in Essex, and a traditional esbat and sabbat meeting point for covens and cunning men.
