BRADWELL s a quiet village, and has been
a special place from Roman times to today.
With peaceful walks and a smugglers' pub
just minutes away, you could not ask for a
more relaxing spot. Nearby St. Peters
Chapel is said to be the oldest church in
Essex.
Visiting yachts are welcome, and should contact the
Marina office before 5pm the day they are planning to
arrive. They will then be allocated a suitable berth and
told how to find it in the Marina.
The Bradwell Marinais situated at Bradwell Waterside, on
the south shore of the river Blackwater. It is ideally placed
for the east coast sailor with the Blackwater Estuary “on
the doorstep” and within easy reach of other Essex rivers.
It is also well placed to cruising to the French, Dutch and
Belgium coasts.
Road access from London is by the A127 trunk road as far
as Wickford, and thence by the B1012 through
Latchingdon, Mayland and Steeple.
The yacht basin itself is admirably sheltered, as it was
excavated behind the sea wall and is therefore completely
enclosed. The only exception is the entrance channel
which was cut through the sea wall.
There is no lock and the marina is accessible at all states
of the tide for shallow draft craft. Deeper draft vessels
must excercise caution at low water especially during
spring tides, as the navigable channel in Bradwell Creek
becomes shallow. The marina basin and entrance were
excavated to give a minimum depth of 6-8 ft.at low water
springs.
Diesel and super unleaded petrol are available on the fuel
pier, 7 days a week. We have a clubhouse with showers
and toilets and a seperate building with laundry facilities.
