Join us for a short light stroll as we explore the shores of the river Crouch and Marsh Farm to celebrate local wildlife. Our coastal ranger will guide you from our gazebo along the Marsh Farm sea wall and back. The walk will take approximately 1 hour, and we will walk over a flat surface with frequent stops for birdwatching, using spotting scope.
