The Chase Nature Reserve

Nice path layout, a bit soggy off the paths, loads of birds and rabbits very secluded in parts with a lot of dog walkers and nice cafe in the Discovery Centre

The Chase Nature Reserve is a fantastic place to visit. If you're into nature, then this is the place for you. There are horses 🐎 roaming around that you can stroke. They are very friendly. People do walk their dogs 🐕 and the horses are not spooked. Plenty of birds 🐦 to hear singing in the trees and lots of waterfowl too. Managed to spot some hares, which was a nice treat. We went by train. Got off at Dagenham East. There is about a 25 minute walk to get there, but we'll worth it. Will be going back, because my daughter and I didn't mange to walk the whole thing.

Always enjoy a walk around this area. so much wildlife and pretty scenery you forget you’re in Dagenham! Can spend a good couple of hours exploring it all. Perfect place to walk in the summer whether with the family, a partner or a four legged friend.

Nature at its best! Eastends best kept secret!! Wonderful lakes, walkways, bird sanctuary, orchard, plants & trees and some creepy crawlies too! Family friendly & a cafe to take a break!

Wonderful, I love coming here. There are horses around however I have never gotten too close. There are educational posters around informing you of the wildlife present. Generally, a nice place to go and walk, although during the rainy season I recommend waterproof shoes as the off-road paths can get muddy and slightly flooded.

The Chase Nature Reserve is a very quiet & idyllic, it was a really nice walk & left me feeling a sense of calm after a full on day at work. Definitely going back, for another walk around.

The weather is getting cold now and not alot of people like to go out.

Beautiful place with great biodiversity! Also nice little cafe with great service!
