Public bridleway through Million Wood, near Enville The public bridleway which runs through the heart of this large wood, is the only route which the public can use. There are no other public rights of way, nor is it access land. Forestry operations are undertaken in the wood, so it is probably safest to stick to the correct route!

Million Wood near Enville A typical scene in the wood, taken from the public bridleway. Although there appears to be a path here, there is no public right of way other than on the bridleway. The trees here are mainly pine. In April 2011, another part of the wood suffered a bad fire, which took some days to extinguish.
