Stanford Warren

Essex Wildlife Trust nature reserve

About

Stanford Warren is a 16.6-hectare (41-acre) nature reserve south of Stanford-le-Hope in Essex. It is managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust.

This former gravel quarry is bisected by the River Hassenbrook. It has one of the largest reedbeds in the county, together with rough grassland and marshes. The bird life is diverse, including water rails, grey wagtails and bearded tits.
