This green open space is a designated Local Nature Reserve, and features areas of meadow scrubland, woodland and wetlands alongside the River Crane. The riverside walk here forms part of the London Loop walk and it is possible to walk from Pevensey Road to the River Thames following the River Crane.

Downstream, this site is dedicated to the memory of the late local naturalist Peter Cribb who did much to promote and protect the wildlife of this amazingly diverse area.
