The Deadly Path in Britain: A Tragic Tale
Meet the Broomway, a perilous path aptly named. In English, 'broom' means 'a sweeping tool'—which is precisely what this path does, sweeping away those who tread upon it, with no turning back.
Over 100 lives have been claimed by this path located in a small village in Britain—a path the British themselves have labeled as one of the most dangerous spots in the country.
Known as the Broomway, it bears its name for a reason. The word 'broom' suggests sweeping, much like how this path 'sweeps' away those who walk on it, leading them one way without return.
This deadly path can be found in the village of Great Wakering, and after a three-hour hike, it leads to an island called Foulness. Hikers who venture here often remain unaware of the significant danger posed during high tides when water covers large sections, making it difficult to retrace one's steps.
If that's not enough to deter you, there's another reason why this path is fraught with danger: much of the land it traverses is owned by the British Ministry of Defence, and walking on it requires a special permit.
In a unique book about the path, local author Robert Macfarlane described it as "a walk with an unclear direction, and an uncertain end on a twist that emerges from nowhere. A path that is neither on land nor in water, leading far into the sea."
