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.
