Chessel Bay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chessel Bay (grid reference SU440126) is the name given to the bay formed on the eastern side of a large bend in the River Itchen to the east of the district of Northam in the city of Southampton, Hampshire, England.

At low tide, mudflats are exposed, and these attract feeding estuary birds.

Chessel Bay Nature Reserve is a Local Nature Reserve centred in this bay. A voluntary group, the Friends of Chessel Bay, formerly existed, carrying out occasional management of the reserve.
