Large unimproved area adjacent to the Colne Estuary between Pyefleet Channel and Geedon Creek. Large areas of salt marsh were reclaimed in Langenhoe late in the 18th century. The relict salt marsh surface is well preserved over most of the area, but with evidence for straightened drainage ditches in places. The area is dominated by extensive former creeks and major fleets. There is evidence for some sea wall realignment and counter walls, and in places the marsh is crossed by raised causeways some of which are still used for access. The borrow dykes are still visible although they are narrow. A number of banked and ditched earthwork livestock enclosures can be identified and there are many salterns/red hills across the area. Wick Marsh place name relates to a farmstead on an adjacent area and the parish boundary follows a fossilised creek in the western end of the marsh. <1>
