Location

Little Wigborough is a small hamlet close to coastal backwaters between Great Wigborough and Peldon. Due to its rural nature it has limited amenities with the parish church found at the end of Copt Hall Lane. Much of the local land is dedicated to attracting wildlife with many country walks available. The area has views towards West Mersea, which provides wider facilities and is ideal for the sailing enthusiast. Colchester provides wider educational and shopping facilities expected in one the Britain’s newest cities and has mainline rail services to London Liverpool Street.
