TR0392 : The northern end of The Broomway

taken 2 years ago, near to Courtsend, Essex, England

The northern end of The Broomway
The northern end of The Broomway
Until the 1920's the only way onto Foulness - apart from by boat - was on this byway known as The Broomway (from the way it was marked in the past)- obviously at low tide only! From here at Fisherman's Head, it goes across the mud until it reaches an area of firm sand over half a kilometre from the shore. There it turns southwest and runs parallel to the shore for about six miles until it reaches land at Wakering Stairs. There are (or were) paths to the west to other spots on Foulness - Eastwick Head, Rugwood Head, Asplins Head and Shelford Head.
