About This AttractionSuggest an Edit
These medieval marshes lie next to the River Thames and have now reopened to the public after having been used as a military firing range. It is a beautiful place to visit and is home to various wading birds and ducks. From the Visitor's Centre you can look out over the marshes or enjoy a cup of tea in the cafe. Kids can go wild in the outdoor adventure play area too and keep an eye on their website for events held throughout the year.

Scenic views over the river and marshes. The cafe is well maintained and there is a lovely natural play area with sand for kids.
