Cock Marsh, Natural reserve and wetland near River Thames in Berkshire, England
The 46-acre protected marsh includes steep chalk slopes, diverse meadow habitats, and multiple silted pools at the bottom of grasslands near Cookham village.
Local villagers acquired the land in 1934 and transferred it to the National Trust, preserving a site that had been used for grazing since 1272.
Four Bronze Age burial mounds within the marsh contain archaeological findings from ancient funeral feasts and subsequent Anglo-Saxon burials.
Visitors can observe various bird species throughout the year while walking through different sections of grassland maintained by grazing cattle and horses.
The marsh hosts over 10,000 specimens of Brown Galingale, making it the primary British location for this plant found in only 12 sites across England.
