Wallasea Island & Marina - 4k DJI Mini 2

The sun shone and the wind was kind. The ideal time to get the drone back up in the air filming more of the glorious Essex countryside. This time it was a short 30 minute drive out to the River Crouch to Wallasea Island, the marina and the RSPB Wild Coast Project Nature Reserve.

Wallasea Island is bounded to the north by the River Crouch, to the south east by the River Roach, and to the west by Paglesham Pool and the narrow Paglesham Creek. The population of the Island is included in the civil parish of Canewdon.

Much of the island is farmland, and wheat is the main crop. A small settlement at its western end is linked by road to the mainland and is home to a campsite and marina. It is linked by a ferry to Burnham-on-Crouch.

It is possible to walk for about 8 mi (13 km) around most of the sea wall. The south side of the island is one of the most tranquil places in Essex, where wildlife typical of open farmland such as skylarks, corn buntings and hares can be observed. Close by, on the opposite side of the estuary of the River Roach, Foulness Island and Potton Island are visible.
