Falcon Farm, Enville.

Falcon Farm is part of the Enville Estate.

Brindley Hall, Compton, Kinver

This house was once owned by James Brindley, the man who played such a big part in the building of the Canals. Up until recent years it was owned by the Enville Estate and fell into disrepair, squatters moved in for a while, then it was sold to Developers, but when they came to renovate it, Bats were found in the roof and work had to stop. If anyone lives in it now I don't know, but with iron fence and Doberman dogs I will leave that to someone else to find out. The farm nextdoor is Union Hall Farm named after The Grand Union Canal.

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.
