The Washland is formed around the tidal Fenn Creek which is a tributary of the River Crouch. The northern end of the creek is fed with fresh water from the Rettendon Brook.
The site is undeveloped wetland in a valley surrounded by housing. It has grassland, swamp, scrub, ponds and reedbed, providing diverse habitats for wildlife.[1][3]
There is access to a footpath round the site from Inchbonnie Road, but no formal paths within the site itself.
