About:-

Furze Hill is a most excellent find for a stroll through the woods with lots of old and hollowed out trees. There are some truly amazing sights amongst these old lovelies. Part of the parkland associated with Mistley Village Hall, it is now remarkable for its numerous ancient, gnarled Oak trees, each a wildlife habitat, natural sculpture, and source of legend. Pride of place goes to Old Knobbley, a much loved 800 year old English oak tree with a trunk circumference of about 9.5m and height of just 4.3m.
