Welcome to West Tilbury

West Tilbury is a small village located in the county of Essex, England. It is situated on the north bank of the River Thames, approximately 30 miles east of London. The village has a rich history dating back to the Roman times, and it was once an important port for the transportation of goods and people across the river. Today, West Tilbury is a peaceful and picturesque village with a population of around 500 people.

One of the most notable landmarks in West Tilbury is the St. James the Less Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and features a beautiful Norman doorway and a 14th-century font. The churchyard is also home to a number of historic graves, including that of Sir John de Cobham, a prominent figure in the Hundred Years' War. Another notable feature of the village is the West Tilbury Village Hall, which hosts a range of community events and activities throughout the year.

West Tilbury is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, and fishing. The village is also close to a number of other attractions, including the Tilbury Fort, which was built in the 17th century to defend the Thames against foreign invasion. Overall, West Tilbury is a charming and peaceful village with a rich history and plenty of natural beauty to explore.
