It is a great place for a walk and has an abundance of wildlife. Look out for deers, Kingfishers, little egrests, coots, moorhens, swans, ducks and the occassional heron.
Take the time to look north from the marsh for a great view of the town and to the south east for a view of Marsh Court designed by Sir Edward Lutyens.
