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.
