Where are we?

Winstred Hundred is a large, predominantly rural, area overlooking Mersea Island in the Blackwater Estuary, and is bounded to the north-west by Abberton Reservoir, to the south by the Salcott Channel with a land-boundary to the north-east shared with the parish of Abberton & Langenhoe.

There are lots of great places to walk in the parish, if you want to go further afield, though, a good website with lots of free to access walks, is https://www.walkinginengland.co.uk/essex.
