Northey Island lies near the head of the Blackwater Estuary, east of the port of Maldon. It is a National Trust Nature Reserve reached by a causeway, probably of Roaman origin that is covered for several hours at high tide. Its large areas of saltmarsh are important for overwintering wildfowl & the pasture is maintained at the correct height when the Brent Geese arrive in the autumn. Up to 5000 can be there between January and March. Summer months see a range of birds nesting there including the Oystercatcher and Shelduck.
