Rainham

This is an off-road route where you can spot a variety of interesting, sometimes rare, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians as well as bugs and beasties of all kinds. RSPB Rainham Marshes is just a stone's throw from London, easily accessible by public transport, on foot and by bike. Located on ancient marshland nestled beside the river Thames, it really is a special place to enjoy the great outdoors. 


A new cycle route links the villages of Purfleet and Rainham. This runs beside the reserve, following the Thames, looping round and passing the WW2 concrete barges and the "diver".

The reserve itself offers a leisurely amble in a superb setting with fantastic facilities in the eco-friendly visitor centre.  For more information on Rainham Marshes RSPB Reserve please click on the link below.
