The site was formerly an oil refinery, and has been transformed into an area of grazing marsh. It has a nationally important population of invertebrates, including 22 which are endangered Red Book species, and three which had been recorded as extinct in Britain. It also has a nationally important population of shrill carder bees. Scrub edges provide additional habitats. The site has been described as "a brownfield rainforest" by Natural England officer Chris Gibson.
The entrance to the reserve is on Northwick Road.
