Data

New England Island is an uninhabited island in Essex. One road crosses the island, connecting it with bridges to Foulness and to the mainland by way of Havengore Island.

Formerly used as pasture for sheep, the low-lying island is protected by dykes and has been owned by the Ministry of Defence since 1915.
