Take in fantastic views across the Thames following the river wall to the concrete barges before turning off to appreciate the wildlife across the reserve on the way back to the centre.
What to look out for: Look for seals basking on the shore of the river and lapwings soaring over head. Different sea birds and waders can be observed on the near shore beaches as well as dragonflies enjoying the vegetation on the side of the trails.
The grasses and flowers along the trails are a haven for bees and butterflies. If you’re lucky, you might even see a water vole in the ditches running through the reserve and if you listen carefully you may hear the marsh frogs calling.
