Path in Hart's Wood
Hart's Wood is at the northern end of Thorndon Country Park. Thorndon Country Park is divided into Thorndon Park North, with the Countryside Centre, and Thorndon Park South. These areas are linked by the 'Old Park', which is owned by the Woodland Trust, and 'Old Thorndon Pasture', which is owned by Essex County Council.
The Countryside Centre in Thorndon Park North was built from timber blown over in the 1987 storms in the two parks. It has a permanent exhibition, a shop selling gifts and refreshments, and a schools' room.

Clay Face on a Tree
There were quite a few of these stuck onto the trees just around here. Lumps of clay from a stream or puddles splatted onto the tree bark and worked into various odd faces. This is one of the best, with green eyes and a leafy beard and an impressive mustache made out of moss or something.

Structure in Hartswood
One of those dead branch arrangements that the kids build in woodlands all over the place. More unusual is the little face made out of clay stuck onto the bark of a tree. There were a lot of them just here, with a stream nearby as the source of the clay.

Woodman Road Cemetery
Some unusual book style memorials. From the inscriptions, this is a special plot reserved for a convent.
