Old Cottage by Coward's Marsh
This cottage is right alongside the track of an old railway line which ran from Ringwood to Christchurch, but was closed in the 1930s. It is possible that the dwelling was a railway house, but there is no proof of that.

Coward's Marsh, Christchurch
Christchurch Commoners, who have to be residents of Twynham or Portfield Wards and pay council tax, may graze animals here from Lammas to Candlemas (May-Feb). The maximum number allowed is 12 cattle, excluding bulls, or 6 horses/donkeys/mules. Difficult to tell in such a flat landscape, but the marsh may be over-populated. Also popular with swans. Taken from Marsh House looking towards the Avon.

Depth marker and drainage ditch on Coward?s Marsh
The marker stands where a track crosses the ditch and presumably provides some reassurance when the whole area is under water. Judging from a nearby spot height, the red figure “4” indicates 4 metres above sea level.
