The Mill Field

[1] It is a public open space which slopes steeply down from the road called The Ridgeway.

[2] The upper part, which has good views across west London, is managed as a park and has a football pitch.

The lower slopes are less managed, with grassland, hedgerows marking former field boundaries, scattered trees, and areas of creeping thistle.

[1] A small stream, probably a tributary of Burnt Oak Brook,[3] flows from a spring fed pond, which has a rich wetland flora.

Wild flowers include devil's-bit scabious and Common Tormentil, and the small copper butterfly is found there.
