Fingringhoe is a small village and civil parish a few miles east of Colchester in Essex, England, set beside the tidal River Colne. The village is notable for its riverside saltmarshes and reedbeds and sits next to the popular Fingringhoe Wick Nature Reserve, part of the wider Colne Estuary conservation area, so it attracts walkers, birdwatchers and photographers drawn to its coastal landscapes and wildlife.
Historically rural in character, Fingringhoe retains a quiet village feel with a small community and evidence of long-standing settlement, and its economy remains a mix of local farming and residents who commute to nearby towns such as Colchester. Conservation and outdoor recreation are important to village life, and the setting makes it a peaceful base for exploring the Essex coast and estuary habitats.
