Aerial view of Hurst Farm and Tile Wood
The buildings in the centre are known by the name of 'Hurst Farm' (amongst other less complementary names). Today, there are even more buildings on the site, which benefits from being designated 'Agricultural'.
The road along the lower right is the A127 (Southend Arterial Road). The road joining it is St Michael's Road, which leads to St Michael's Church in Daws Heath.
The woods beyond are Tile Wood on the left and Wyburns Wood on the right. These two woods merge at this point. Originally Wyburns Wood was known as 'Tile Wood West' (and Tile Wood was 'Tile Wood East').

Tile Wood Boundary
This earthwork is the ancient boundary between Daws Heath and Tile Wood. The wood was formerly owned by Westminster Abbey. In modern times title rested with the Church Commissioners however in 2010 the reserve was purchased for £50,000 following an appeal for funds to members of the Essex Wildlife Trust http://www.essexwt.org.uk/. The donor’s wallets will not have much time to recover because the Trusts biggest project ever is about to get under way at Image

Tile Wood Wood Pile
It is thought that Tile Wood is so named because of the Roman tiles that on occasions still surface. Although proper excavations have not been undertaken there may be the remains of a villa somewhere in the vicinity. The wood here from recent coppicing is waiting to be turned into charcoal. You can learn about how it is made by visiting Image The group of people in the background are donors who helped raise £50,000 to buy the freehold of the wood for the Essex Wildlife Trust. They are being given a guided tour by one of the deputy wardens.

Daws Heath Road, Rayleigh
I wouldn't even try to do 60 mph down here. Narrow back road much used as a "rat-run" when the A127 is congested
