Dist:0.3km<br/>Lowland Heath has become a very rare habitat in Essex these day's. Mill Green Common still has healthy patches of heather. With the decline of common grazing active management of the land owner is required to prevent heathland turning into secondary woodland.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Mill Green Common has been in the ownership of the Petre family of [[2481493]] for around 400 years. It seems much bigger than the 0.05 hectares shown on the common land website see http://common-land.com/lands/view/1409 The notice board says there are no rights of way across it but the Noble Lord is happy for the public to walk and to take quiet exercise on the common.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Mapletree Lane here runs between two strong (medieval?) boundary ditches and wood banks. These are unusually wide apart, leading me to think that this was perhaps a drove road. It is also very straight - on the line of a Roman road perhaps. The present path meanders between the wood banks through secondary woodland.

Dist:0.7km<br/>This is the bridleway through College Wood part of the Writtle Forest http://www.wildessex.net/sites/Writtle Forest.htm The forest is mainly privately owned although there are enough rights of way through it for the public to ramble and explore. There is quite a different feel to the management of these woods there is a wildness about them, no dog waste bins, dedicated seats tea rooms or toilets and significant numbers of [[2566678]].
