This photo shows virtually all of Daws Heath. Daws Heath Road runs along the upper left of the estate, then turns a sharp right just around the end of the meadows and runs south (downwards). The other main limb of the triangle is Western Road. The buildings in the lower centre are those of Solby Wood Farm. Beyond the estate, the woods are (from left to right) Starvelarks Wood, Wyburns Wood which merges into Tile Wood, Pound Wood. Starvelarks Wood and Wyburns wood, together with the adjacent meadows are now part of the Little Haven Nature Reserve, managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust http://www.essexwt.org.uk/ , with the land being owned by the Little Havens Children's Hospice http://www.littlehavens.org.uk/. Pound Wood is owned and managed by the Essex Wildlife Trust, but Tile Wood is currently the subject of an appeal by the Essex Wildlife Trust to purchase the freehold.
