Welcome to East Mersea<\/h1>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

By most standards of today the Village of East Mersea is a thriving community which can boast not only a pub and a Church but also a vineyard and a restaurant. Although the number of residents remains small, the visitors to the caravan sites swell the numbers during the summer months.<\/span><\/p>\n
