Greater Thames Estuary, South East Mixed (Wooded)
Author(s): Jeremy Lake
The Greater Thames Estuary is the narrow strip of soft coastline between the Swale Estuary on the Kent coast and the River Stour on the Essex-Suffolk border. This is a low-lying coastal landscape extending along the Thames into inner London. It is a landscape of shallow creeks, drowned estuaries, mudflats and broad tracts of tidal salt-marsh with sand and shingle beaches along the coastal edge. Just over half the land area (56%) is agricultural and 21% is urban, including the riverside part of east London.
