About

Great Wakering is a coastal village situated on the eastern edge of the Rochford district. It is primarily residential, with a central high street providing local shops and services. The surrounding landscape consists of flat, open farmland, historically used for vegetable growing. The area is bordered by the Roach and Crouch estuaries, leading to extensive salt marshes and mudflats that are significant for birdlife.

To the east, accessed by a single causeway, lies the isolated island of Foulness. This is a largely private, sparsely populated area dominated by Ministry of Defence ownership and active agricultural use. The terrain is characterised by vast, remote fields, sea walls, and creeks. The island's church, St Mary the Virgin at Churchend, stands alone amidst this open landscape.
