Oare Marshes, Nature reserve in Faversham, England.
The 81-hectare wetland reserve contains grazing marshes, freshwater dykes, open water scrapes, reedbed zones, and saltmarsh areas near the Isle of Sheppey.
The land served as a location for gunpowder manufacturing from 1787 until 1916, with remains of the original jetty still visible along the waterfront.
The eastern boundary at Oare Creek maintains traditional boat building practices, specializing in the restoration of Thames Sailing Barges and historic vessels.
Two bird observation hides connect through walking trails, with dedicated parking areas including specialized spots for visitors with reduced mobility near the East Flood.
Highland cattle and Konik horses graze throughout the reserve, maintaining the natural vegetation patterns essential for diverse bird populations.
