The village of Tillingham sits on the low-lying Dengie Peninsula in the district of Maldon, Essex, England. It overlooks extensive salt marshes and coastal farmland and lies close to villages such as Bradwell-on-Sea and Burnham-on-Crouch, making it a quiet base for birdwatching, walks and exploring the estuary landscape.
Tillingham retains a strong rural character with a long agricultural history alongside small local businesses; its community life centres on the village church, hall and pubs, with regular local events and clubs. The historic core and surrounding marshes give the place a traditional feel, even as some residents commute to nearby towns and visitors come for wildlife, coastal history and peaceful village life.
