Dengie Peninsula

The peninsula is formed by the River Crouch to the south, the Blackwater to the north, both of which are tidal, and the North Sea to the east.

The eastern part of the peninsula is marshy and forms the Dengie Marshes.

The western boundary of Dengie hundred ran from North Fambridge to a bit west of Maldon.

The peninsula forms about half of the Maldon local government district.

The Dengie Peninsula is home to some of the oldest and largest vineyards in the UK, including:

St. Peter-on-the-Wall Chapel , at the tip of the peninsula, and on the site of the Roman Saxon Shore fort of Othona
