About

Kirby-le-Soken is a coastal village on the Tendring peninsula, centred around its historic church and village green. The area includes the hamlet of Beaumont-cum-Moze and extensive agricultural land. It borders the Hamford Water National Nature Reserve, a large area of tidal creeks, saltmarsh and mudflats important for overwintering birds.
