Mill Meadows Local Nature Reserve is situated just a stone's throw from Billericay Town Centre.
The reserve is perfect for walkers and runners with both marked trails and unmarked trails to explore, but cycling and horse riding are not permitted.
Please be aware that due to the hilly terrain and some unsurfaced paths, access for wheelchair users is limited however the Marked Trail does include steps, bridges and benches.
Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control, especially when the cattle are grazing between April and October.
