The site lies between two tidal creeks which run into the River Crouch. It has saltmarsh and rough grassland with an unusual transition zone between them. Birds include reed buntings, yellow wagtails and meadow pipits, and there are common lizards and slowworms.[1]
There is access at the Shaw Farm roundabout, at the junction of Burnham Road and Ferrers Road.[1]
