The next meeting of Heybridge Basin Parish Council will be the Parish Council Meeting at 7:00 pm on Tuesday 21st June 2022 . The venue is St George's Community Room, Heybridge Basin.
Daisy Meadow Car Park is now a pay and display car park - Tariffs can be found under the DMCP section of the website. We remind visitors to the Basin that there are no toilet facilites in the Basin area.
Heybridge Basin is a small waterside village located where the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Canal merges into the tidal Blackwater Estuary, fed by the rivers Blackwater and Chelmer.
The two rivers are joined by a lock which is regularly used by pleasure boats. There are two pubs adjacent to the lock (The Old Ship Inn and The Jolly Sailor) which provide traditional British food. There is also a tea room, 'the lock' operated by Wilkin and Sons, the conserves company.
The basin offers walks along the seawall and the canal leading back into the heart of Heybridge itself. During the summer months, rowing boat hire is also available.
