Canvey Wick
A nice walk down from Benfleet Station to Canvey Island,
and then out along the sea wall into a post industrial landscape.
A brownfield site once destined to be an oil refinary and storage facility.
Now a nature reserve and site of special scientific interest.
A bank of poor sandy grasslands and low scrub surrounded by marshes.
