Lower Horse

Lower Horse is a 31.1-acre (12.6 ha) uninhabited island off the English coast, lying in the Thames Estuary between Canvey Island and Stanford-le-Hope, close to grid reference TQ760828.

Ownership and size

It is part of Thurrock unitary authority; an internal border of its historical and ceremonial county Essex, namely of the administrative county of Essex is between it and Canvey Island.
