Welcome to Northey Island

Northey Island is a small, uninhabited island located in the Blackwater Estuary in Essex. The island is only accessible by boat and is a popular destination for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The island is home to a variety of bird species, including oystercatchers, curlews, and redshanks. Visitors can also spot seals and other marine life in the surrounding waters. The island is a peaceful and serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, offering a chance to connect with nature and enjoy the beauty of the Essex coastline.

Northey Island has a rich history dating back to the Roman era. The island was once used as a salt-making site and was later used as a base for smugglers in the 18th century. During World War II, the island was used as a decoy site to divert German bombers away from the nearby town of Maldon. Today, visitors can explore the island's history by visiting the remains of the salt pans and the decoy site. The island's history adds to its charm and makes it a unique destination for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
