RSPB Bowers Marsh

Somewhere quiet an relaxing an safe to walk dogs for miles with plenty of fields an shady places to stop an rest an cool off if the weather is hot.

Love this place. Nice long hour walk around the reservoir just 5 mins from benfleet you would believe how wuirlet it is.. Has a car park for lots of cars. No toilets or play area but ok for bikes.

So near to home but never been here. A hidden gem, lovely paths for walking or cycling. Lots of picnic areas but sadly no toilets.

Very easy to get to with a large free car park. Paths are in good repair making dirt easy walking. There is a good range of dry and wet land. The only scar on the landscape is the proximity of a land fill rubbish too which results in a large hillside being draped in rubbish and plastic. I saw a gull frantically away with a huge plastic bag hanging from its beak or neck. Very distressing to see
