This is a linear site along a disused railway embankment, with views over the Fens. There are also three ponds, reedbeds and areas of scrub.^[1] The soil is poor in nutrients, which has allowed uncommon flowering plants such as coltsfoot to become established. Trees include ash and white willow.^[4]

The southern end of the site can be accessed from Twenty Foot Road, and National Cycle Route 63 runs through it. There is no access to the northern end.^[1]
