Thundersley Great Common see http://www.castlepoint.gov.uk/main.cfm?Type=3341 is a survivor of heathland habitat./However with the cession of grazing the common was colonised by trees many of which were cleared in 1972. In this shot you can see how the Heather is once more being out competed by birch. The landscape is now actively managed by Castlepoint Council. See also Image
