This is the reed-choked Ingrebourne viewed looking downstream from Hacton Bridge. A large growth of the invasive Himalayan Balsam (impatiens glandulifera) is visible on the bank to the left. The Ingrebourne rises near Brentwood and flows into the Thames at Rainham, a distance of about 27 miles or about 43 kilometres.
