TQ7379 : Footpath by River Thames, North of Cliffe Marshes
taken 4 years ago, 3 km from Cliffe, Medway, England
Cliffe Marshes cover over 500ha north of the village of Cliffe on the Hoo peninsula. Most of the area is drained by channels and is given over to wet grassland grazing. Cooling Marshes and Halstow Marshes can be included in Cliffe Marshes. In 2002 they were identified as a possible site for London's third airport, but dropped in 2003. Much of the area is an environmentally sensitive area.
The River Thames rises at Thames Head in Gloucestershire on the slopes of the Cotswolds and flows generally eastward to its mouth near Southend in Essex. At 215 miles long it is one of the longest rivers in Britain, and the longest entirely within England. It is one of the most important rivers in Britain. Link
