Heybridge Basin
Heybridge Basin sits at the entrance to the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation canal, where you can anchor off and dinghy ashore to explore this quietly charming Essex village just a mile from Maldon. You'll find a couple of waterside pubs and easy access to coastal walking paths along the River Blackwater, with the historic town of Maldon itself a short hop away.
