About

Tillingham ward encompasses a rural area on the Dengie Peninsula, bordering the River Blackwater and North Sea creeks. Its landscape is dominated by agricultural fields and dispersed settlements, with the village of Tillingham forming its main population centre. The area's character is defined by its flat, open farmland and expansive skies, with a network of quiet country lanes connecting isolated farms and homes.

The geography is marked by coastal marshland and sea walls, which protect the low-lying land from tidal waters. This environment supports wildlife habitats and influences local land use. The parish church of St Nicholas, with its distinctive wooden spire, stands as a prominent landmark in the village, reflecting the area's long-standing agricultural and maritime history.
