Ickenham Marsh, Nature reserve in London Borough of Hillingdon, United Kingdom
The 7.5-hectare wetland contains streams, grassy fields, and marshlands with oak and ash woodland on its higher grounds near Yeading Brook.
The marshland served agricultural purposes when the common fields of Ickenham underwent enclosure in 1780, allowing householders to graze their livestock.
The reserve functions as an educational resource where local schools and community groups study native species through informational boards along the paths.
Visitors can access the marsh from Austin's Lane in the north or through a tunnel under the A40, with Ickenham Station located five minutes away.
The site implements conservation grazing with cattle and sheep as a method of sustainable land management while protecting local biodiversity.
