The Crayford marshes are an expansive seasonal wetland alongside the River Darent. Its pastureland is divided by ditches and reeds, making it quite impressive to see.

It's an important place for birds and you might be lucky enough to spot (or hear) Meadow Pipit, Reed Bunting, skylark and even ringneck parakeet. Little egrets are also resident.
