North Tees Marshes
| This
map shows the location of some of the more important pools in the
area that is often referred to as the North Tees marshes. Most
of these pools are man made or at least caused by the action of
industry on what would originally have been part of the much bigger
Tees estuary. Reclamation of the land during the last 100 years
or more has resulted in low lying land with a high water table
and in some cases still affected by salt. This makes the pools
attractive to wading birds as the almost continually muddy fringes
makes some of the marshes similar to the estuary.
