Cranleigh Close, Clacton-on-Sea

Cranleigh Close Open Space is a 2.2 acre site off Constable Avenue, Clacton, providing quiet countryside recreation for the public and contributes to the bio-diversity of the area. It is enclosed by a hedged perimeter and has an all-weather access pathway, picnic tables and litter bins. In 2011 pupils from Cann Hall Primary School helped to plant two hundred trees at the site consisting of hawthorn, field maple, mountain ash, birch and hazel. A ‘living shelter’ has also been created from 20 pleached field maples with the branches and crown trained to grow flat. The site is home to a wooden animal sculpture and a feature badger bench for children and visitors to enjoy.
