Roman River Valley, Nature reserve in Layer de la Haye, United Kingdom.
The Roman River Valley extends across 17.8 hectares of wetlands, featuring ancient woodland, marshes, and diverse ecosystems along the river course.
The Essex Wildlife Trust manages this conservation area, which contains traditional river valley landscapes within the Roman River Valley Conservation Zone.
Local residents frequently participate in nature walks and wildlife observation activities, focusing on water voles, otters, and numerous dragonfly species.
