Pathways to the Marshes

An HLF bid to improve access to the South Essex Marshes

The area covered by the Pathways to the Marshes project
Pathways to the Marshes

Essex County Council is coordinating a Heritage Lottery Fund Landscape Partnership bid which will provide ‘pathways’ to the marshes, telling the story of the medieval reclaimed pastures, the creeks and trading ports, the forts, world war remains and post-industrial architecture and highlighting the internationally important biodiversity of the wetlands. Building on the work already undertaken to deliver the Thames Estuary Path, this HLF project will deliver access and interactive heritage interpretation projects that re-connect local communities with the marshes.

The Tilbury Riverside Project is supporting this project which includes the (former) marshland in Tilbury and Chadwell.

Kate Collins is coordinating the bid for ECC. She can be contacted on 01223 229994 or kate@sheilsflynn.com

  • I’m afraid the bid did not receive any funding.

  • Did this come to anything? As a kid in the early 70’s this was my playground, West Tilbury marshes in particular. I was an avid bird watcher and still have all my records of from that time along maps that I drew of the area and space at the time.
