This narrow strip of marshland is plant-rich and a wonderfully wild place. A well-kept ‘yellow brick road’ path winds through the area, making it a perfect spot for dog walkers and cyclists. Look out for birds flying above the brambles, hawthorn and reed beds, including curlews and redshanks. Forage for herbs and see if you can spot rabbits nibbling on the grass.
In the 1930s this was a huge marshalling yard for freight trains and it connected up with Avon mouth Docks.
