Reviewers describe a trail that takes about an hour, mostly flat, with several wooden bridges. It is a quiet place for a walk, and people often bring dogs. One reviewer advises going early, because it can get busy.
A good estuary walk depends on the tide, since the mud flats and the water edge can look very different from hour to hour. Wear shoes that can cope with damp boardwalks and soft ground, and bring water if the day is warm. Early in the morning is often the calmest time, and the light over the water is good for photographs. Dog walkers should keep their animals on a lead near birds and nesting areas.
For an easy walk among the wooden bridges in Bromley, this reserve is a quiet place to spend an hour by the water.
