Howlands Marsh Nature Reserve

The fleets and other natural depressions in the grassland are evidence of former creeks and saltmarsh before the seawall was built. A narrow fringe of saltmarsh outside the seawall widens into a large block where Flag and St Osyth creeks meet. The nature reserve is grazed at certain times of the year.
What to look for:
The grassland contains much Reed, Sedge, Glaucous Bulrush and Sea Clubrush, and a wide variety of other plants including Spiny Restharrow and Spring Whitlow-Grass.
