Shillinglee Lake is a 17abbr=offNaNabbr=off biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Plaistow in West Sussex.[1] [2]
The lake has been designated an SSSI because it has four nationally uncommon plants. It is one of only ten locations in the country for Leersia oryzoides, a species of cut-grass. The other three are water mudwort, needle spikerush and six-stamen waterwort, all of which are found on mud when the water level is low.[3]
Footpaths skirt the lake at several points.
