Dengie Peninsula
Coordinates: 51°44′N 0°56′E / 51.733°N 0.933°E Dengie is a peninsula in Essex, England, that once formed a hundred of the same name (sometimes spelled Dengy).
The peninsula is formed by the River Crouch to the south, the Blackwater to the north, both of which are tidal, and the North Sea to the east. The eastern part of the peninsula is marshy and forms the Dengie Marshes.
