Field Poppies and War memorial In the memorial garden there is a marker recognising the ANZACS who were stationed in Brightlingsea 1916-18. It appears the current management scheme is to keep the grass well cropped on the west side and more wild on the east.

Squeezed Saltmarsh This is an example of coastal squeeze where the natural saltmarsh is squeezed against the sea wall. The outer edge is subject to erosion creating a <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7542909">TM0616 : Mud Cliffs</a>. As the sea level rises the salt marsh habitat will vanish unless there is some managed retreat.
