Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex, England, UKMore information:
Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex is a village at the north-east of the Dengie peninsula where the River Blackwater flows into the North Sea. On the coast to the east of the village centre is St Peters on the Wall, a small chapel built around AD 660 on the site of the Roman fort of Othona, restored in the twentieth century after being used as a barn for several hundred years and now used regularly for worship. In the Second World War, Bradwell Bay had a large airbase. Later it was the site for the now decommissioned but still standing Bradwell nuclear power station, and has been identified as a site for a new nuclear power station. There is a large marina on the Blackwater at Bradwell. Most of the countryside around is large fields growing wheat. The village has a population of less than a thousand and feels very remote.
