Saltmarsh Estuary

An alternative train journey to visiting central London is to embark from the opposite platform and head out into deepest Essex instead. That was the thing to do on Saturday, the sunniest day of the bank holiday weekend. In no time at all Ilford and Romford are left behind and you’re out into the sort of countryside. Hurrying past dreary commuter towns of Billericay, Wickford and Woodham Ferrers, the train turns onto a single track line next to the River Crouch at Battlesbridge, allowing delightful walks from Fambridge and Burnham, next to the saltmarsh where all is peaceful and quiet. The Blue House Farm nature reserve at Fambridge reopens on April 1st.
