Site Details
A 20-hectare site containing one of the last remaining areas of grazing marsh in Greater London, and the largest reedbed in Bexley. Other habitats include a network of ditches and open water, scrub and rough grassland. The site is situated adjacent to the tidal River Thames, which offers productive estuarine birding outside the mid-summer months - particularly around the incinerator outfall.
