St Elmo is situated 10 miles from Colchester in the centre of West Mersea on the unique Mersea Island. Mersea Island is only 60-90 minutes away from the North Sea crossing ports of Harwich and Felixstowe and the same time heading south to the Channel Tunnel. Day trips to London are only 45 minutes by train from Colchester and the renown shopping centres of Lakeside and Bluewater (50 and 60 miles) are well within reach. The famous University city of Cambridge is approximately 1 hours drive.
The safe, secure, low crime locality is coupled with high sunshine and low rainfall figures to provide you with the chance to explore this protected area of outstanding natural beauty in the Blackwater estuary.
A safe, sandy beach is family friendly and water sports are abundant. The small Mersea fishing fleet, added to the world-famous oysters, prove the perfect introduction to the 'Company Shed', featured on many TV programmes by famous chefs.
