Tollesbury Wick

Tollesbury Wick is a 242.8-hectare (600-acre) nature reserve east of Tollesbury in Essex. It is managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust. Tollesbury Wick Marshes is part of the Blackwater Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest.

This is coastal freshwater marsh which is grazed by sheep, and is worked by traditional methods which encourage wildlife. Areas of ungrazed rough pasture have badgers, and field voles and pygmy shrews are hunted by hen harriers and short-eared owls.

The shore of the marshes is within the Blackwater, Crouch, Roach and Colne Estuaries Marine Conservation Zone. There is access from the sea wall only to a footpath to a bird hide.
