How to get here
Bowers Marsh is between Pitsea station and Benfleet station where there are regular services from Shoeburyness and London Fenchurch Street.
From the station exit, turn right at the end of Station Approach and then right down Brackendale Avenue, following the public footpath alongside the railway line until you turn right Church Road. Follow Church road to the main reserve entrance. For more information about train times please visit the C2C website before you travel.
The nearest bus stop is on the B1464 on the number 22 Basildon to Canvey bus route. Walk underneath the A13 via the subway and it brings you out on Church Road, go straight on and walk down the road to the reserve entrance.
Follow directions from the A13 for Pitsea. Take the turning towards Pitsea centre/ Pitsea market onto Broadway Link. Turn right onto London Road (B1464 towards Basildon Crematorium), turn right at the mini-roundabout with a brown sign. This is Church Road - go left at the next T-junction and follow the road until you reach the reserve entrance, and just beyond, the car park.
