It is bounded, on the N, by the river Crouch,-on other sides, by narrow belts of water; it communicates with the mainland by a causeway; it measures 3½ miles in length, and 1¾ in breadth; it consists chiefly of fertile marsh; and it is divided among the parishes of Canewdon, Eastwood, Paglesham, Great Stambridge, and Little Wakering.
