Often compared to the similarly dangerous path across Morecambe Bay, the Broomway has long been notorious as "the most perilous byway in England" It has earned this reputation by virtue of the disorienting nature of its environment in poor visibility, and near inevitability of death by drowning for anyone still out on the sands when the tide comes in. Many people have died on it over the years.The Foulness Burial Register records 66 bodies recovered from the sands since 1600 which is only a fraction of the total who have drowned
The Broomway is a public right of way (specifically a Byway Open to All Traffic) over the foreshore at Maplin Sands off the coast of Essex, England. When the tide is out, it provides access to Foulness Island, and indeed was the only access to Foulness Island until a road bridge was built over Havengore Creek in 1922
