About
Bradwell-on-Sea is a peaceful village and civil parish located on the Dengie Peninsula, in Essex. Just 9 km from Southminster and 30 km east from the city of Chelmsford it offers a unique blend of history, nature, and coastal charm.
The area has a strong industrial and military history with the nearby Bradwell A Nuclear Power Station (decommissioned) and former RAF Bradwell Bay air station. The area is also a haven for walkers due to its close proximity to the Saltmarsh Coastal trail, spanning 75 miles of stunning coastline in the Maldon District.

Set within this beautiful natural landscape is St Peters on the Wall one of the oldest chapels still in use in England, offering a unique glimpse into the country’s early Christian heritage.
