Lower Horse, River island in Thames Estuary, England
Lower Horse encompasses 31.1 acres of permanent marshland with six internal creeks draining northward in the Thames Estuary between Canvey Island and Stanford-le-Hope.
The island separated from the English coastline during medieval times, becoming part of a collection of Thames Estuary islands that emerged through natural processes.
Maps from 1919 document the island's salt extraction activities through the presence of saltings, marking a connection to traditional maritime industries.
Located at coordinates 51.5167°N, 0.5352°E, Lower Horse remains uninhabited and requires special arrangements for access due to environmental conservation measures.
The internal border of Essex ceremonial county runs between Lower Horse and Canvey Island, creating an administrative division in the Thames Estuary.
