There are no shops in the village but on a Saturday mornings there is pop-up farm shop offering fresh and seasonal local produce. The location alongside the tidal River Crouch includes Blue House Farm, a 600 acre coastal plain nature reserve with hides for watching birds and wildlife. This area and the wider district are crossed by country footpaths for those who like walking or cycling. www.ewsexwt.org.uk Within 10 minutes by car you can visit 2 new vineyards which have built a reputation for producing some great wines in a stunning location high above the crouch valley. Both offer food, drink and wine. clayhillvineyard.co.uk crouchridge.com The nearby towns of Maldon & Burnham-on-Crouch add to the maritime / coastal character of this area.
