Country parks and local nature reserves

How to get there

River Bank Walk, Colchester, runs along the edge of the site CO1 1QJ.  There is limited parking along Meander Mews.

Opening times

All day, every day.

History, vegetation and wildlife 

Access is not permitted to the marsh itself but excellent views across the site are afforded from the adjacent pathed footpath from Riverbank Walk along the entire site.  

Our work

We are currently working to restore the marshland by reducing tree cover and allowing marshland vegetation to spread. Mature trees are selectively coppiced to maintain a diverse age and structure of trees across the site. 

The site is regularly patrolled, and litter picked by the site ranger and our volunteers
