The village is located approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) northeast of the town of Rochford, while the parish extends for several miles on the southern side of the River Crouch.Canewdon is situated on one of the highest hills of the Essex coastline, from which St Nicholas's Church affords wide views of the Crouch estuary. East of the village lies the island of Wallasea, popular for sailing, and a wetland sanctuary for wildlife.The name Canewdon is derived from Old English words meaning 'the hill of Cana's people' and not, as is sometimes claimed, from Canute the Great, who fought at the Battle of Ashingdon nearby in 1016 against the English King Edmund II.
