Bradwell Shell Bank Nature Reserve

Bradwell Cockle Spit on the Dengie Peninsular consists of some 30 acres of shell bank together with extensive saltmarsh. The spit has been built up by tidal currents and is mainly cockle and oyster shells. During bad weather and strong tides, the spit moves and in the past two decades, up to 100 metres of saltmarsh has been lost to erosion.
The reserve is managed jointly by Essex Wildlife Trust and The Essex Birdwatching Society. The latter also operate Bradwell Bird Observatory, situated in the grounds of Linnett's Cottage on the edge of the reserve.
