East Anglia and the Thames Estuary

Covering the counties of Essex and Suffolk

Pass London and the Thames opens up into a wide gaping tidal estuary into the North Sea. On the south side, is the peninsular county of Kent which rises from the marshes into the chalky heights of the North Downs. To the North, the flat region of East Anglia which bellows out into the north sea offering a coast  is pitted with tidal, tributories, wetlands, old harbours and smuggler's havens. This area is steeped in history, where Romans first settled and faught Bodecea's Iceni tribe, and where the Anglo-Saxons settled and ruled by Danish kings.
