This summer you can explore the reserve differently, you can take part in a cycle ride open to everyone that is exploring part of Rainham Marshes!

This Sky Ride is an off-road ride where you can spot a variety of wildlife and adventure on your cycle! A new cycle route links the villages of Purfleet and Rainham. This runs beside the reserve, following the Thames, looping round and passing the WW2 concrete barges and the "diver".

The ride is taking part on Sunday 3 August, starting at 10 am. For more information about the ride, where to meet, and how to book (it is free) have a look at the Sky Ride website here.
