Outer Trial Bank, Artificial island in Terrington St Clement, England.
Located in The Wash of East Anglia, this circular artificial island spans 4.265 hectares with a diameter of 250 meters and limestone protection.
The British government initiated the construction in 1974 as part of a water management study to evaluate the creation of a freshwater reservoir.
The island now functions as part of the Wash National Nature Reserve, supporting over 3,000 pairs of nesting seabirds in the region.
Access to the island requires careful planning and appropriate transportation, with options including rental cars or guided kayak excursions from nearby areas.
The central section contains a one-hectare reservoir, while the outer structure uses sand fill reinforced with limestone to maintain its circular formation.
