Dist:0.7km<br/>This is the Hare & Hounds at Layer Bretton Heath. The piece of green in the foreground is the only bit of ground that remotely resembles a heath now. Over the past 30 years due to lack of grazing and control of grass fires the view from the pub has changed from open grassland and bramble bushes to young broad leaf woodland.

Dist:1.3km north<br/>This is a picture of Little Birch Church I took a few years ago when researching for my book "The Lost Parish Churches of Essex". It's a great church - but on private land (Yes I DID get permission!) - so be careful!
