The Salt Marshes

Unlike plants on the path, those in the salt marshes fill up with salt to capture water. There are grasses suited to this environment; red fescue, couch grass and cordgrass, but also rushes, blackgrass and clubrush. Other specific plants develop the most characteristic of which are sea purslane, arrowgrass, plantain, aster and sea thrift. Scurvy grass, from the cress family can also be found, recognisable by its round leaves and small, cross-shaped flowers.
