Description
Using the seawall, one can walk from Tollesbury Marina with the marsh on one side and the tidal Woodrolfe Creek on the other. It's an example of Essex coastal marshes, a bleakly beautiful border area between land and sea. There are flocks of winter Knortegås and Klyde , as well as other waterfowl and waders.
