The Essex natural saltwater pool with its very own beach that's perfect for a heatwave (Image: TOLLESBURY PARISH COUNCIL) If you are looking for some heatwave relief this summer but aren't a fan of a normal man-made pool, there could be somewhere else worth a visit. It's not one of the many beaches found on the long stretch of Essex coastline, but something a little different. Woodup Pool, also known as Woodrolfe Pool in Maldon, is a very basic saltwater bathing spot that even has a little beach at one end.
The pool is filled solely by the tide controlled by a sluice gate, and flushed out and replenished every 10 days or so. function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
