With over 80 dealers housed in a variety of old buildings and courtyards, the centre is open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm. The area is picturesque and the bridge in the middle of the area is a good place to look over the tidal River Crouch.
With over 80 dealers housed in a variety of old buildings and courtyards, the centre is open 7 days a week from 10am to 5pm. The area is picturesque and the bridge in the middle of the area is a good place to look over the tidal River Crouch. It takes its name from the Battaille family; it was mentioned in a 1351 document as the
settlement of Bataillesbregge. This confirms that there was a bridge as far back as the 14thCentury, although the present-day iron structure is much later, dating back to 1872. It was the second iron bridge, the first was struck and damaged by a passing steam traction engine.
Approximately a 3 mile walk taking you 2 hours at a leisurely stroll.
• Not suitable for buggies so good mobility needed with good walking shoes.
• Refreshments available in Battlesbridge Antique Centre.
A great place to travel to by train especially as the car parks get full rather quickly and by midday it is hard to park. Enjoy the stress free visit and a nice walk, a wander around the centre and a cup of tea/coffee.
