Much of the horse-grazed grassland ahead is landfill from old quarries. The development on the left is fairly recent. The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge with its twin white piers can be seen in the distance and on either side of the right hand piers are the twin pylons at West Thurrock (to the left) and Swanscombe (to the right). At 623 feet these are the tallest pylons in the United Kingdom and the second tallest in Europe - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1669476
