iBRADWELL 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.
Navigational Information
Craft approaching the seaward should leave the remains of the
‘Baffles’ off Bradwell Nuclear Power Station to Port, and the
North Cardinal marking the spit at the northern end of ‘Pewitt
Island’ which shows a quick flashing white light, and the ‘Tide
Guage’ to starboard.
The Tide Guage shows the maximum depth in Bradwell Creek in
feet. There is no bar, the Creek being roughly level from the
Beacon to the Marina entrance.
The Creek is marked with red can to port and withies to
starboard. The deeper water is found centrally between the cans
and withies.
Triangular topped leading marks are in place on shore and a
green conical bouy. The deeper water after rounding this is to
the shore side of most boats, other than the small sailing
dinghies belonging to Bradwell Sailing Centre.
The end of ‘A’ and ‘B’ pontoons are kept clear for visiting yachts
and a notice requesting them to report to the tower to be
allocated an overnight berth is posted there. The Marina is
dredged to a depth lower than that of the creek so boats remain
afloat at all times.
A listening watch is kept on VHF channel 37 or 80 during the day,
but try channel 37 after hours.
