About

Maldon East ward encompasses the historic core of the town, situated on a hill overlooking the Blackwater estuary. The area is defined by its medieval street pattern, with narrow lanes leading to the prominent All Saints' Church. The High Street forms a central axis, lined with a mix of independent shops and traditional pubs. The ward includes the Hythe quayside area, which has been a centre for boatbuilding and maritime trade for centuries.

The landscape is characterised by the steep slope down to the river, providing expansive views across the salt marshes. Residential streets, featuring architecture from Georgian to modern periods, radiate from the centre. The Promenade Park, with its long riverside path, is a key recreational space. The presence of the Maldon Mud Race starting point on the Hythe foreshore underscores the area's enduring connection to the estuary's unique tidal environment.
