WANDER THERE FOR A LITTLE BROODING AND BIRD WATCHING Words: CLARE GOGERTY here are times when the landscape suits, even amplifies, your mood. A sandy beach on a sunny summer’s day buoys feelings of jollity. A mountain top uplifts and Texhilarates as you fill your lungs and look at the never-ending view. But where do you go when you want to indulge a reflective mood? When you want some time alone, perhaps, to think a little? To wander and wonder? I always head to an estuary – the Blackwater estuary between Maldon and West Mersea in Essex in particular – and especially round about now when it is at its most evocative and mysterious. An estuary is the tidal mouth of a big river, a shifting ALAMY landscape where the river and the sea meet. It reveals itself quietly: on a chilly winter morning, it is threaded with mist and the PHOTOGRAPHY: PHOTOGRAPHY: only sounds a muffled foghorn from a » 69 ESCAPE | OUTING 1 Estuary legends Three spectral creatures who have arisen from the mists of an estuary 1.

Forming part of Essex County Council’s Seaside Heritage Project (funded by Essex County Council, English Heritage, Tendring District Council, Colchester Borough Council and Southend Unitary Authority) it is one of a series of reports whose purpose is to examine, explore and explain the growth and consolidation of Essex coastal resorts and to outline recommendations for the future conservation of its distinct character zones and many historic buildings and structures of significance. Each report will include a historical narrative and a character assessment of the historic urban area. The Project seeks to identify the various factors which led to the growth of the resorts and explores what makes each resort different in character and potential. In addition to an overall analysis of the ‘life cycle’ of each resort, the Project characterises the spatial urban growth and presents the findings via a series of chronologically based GIS generated maps.
