You now enter an area of carr woodland. The mixture of trees and shrubs is good for wildlife.4. This stretch of the walk takes you on part of the Muck Fleet, the main draining dyke for the surrounding marshes. Look out for birds in the reed and sedge.5. After crossing New Road, the path winds and tunnels through old hedgerows of hawthorn, sycamore and elder. Look for wild flowers here in the spring.6.
