Brickfield and Long Meadow, Local nature reserve in Earls Colne, Essex, England.
The 3.9-hectare natural area contains meadows, ornamental ponds, black poplar trees, oak saplings, and numerous anthills across its landscape.
The site obtained its name from its former function as a brick storage area connected to the manufacturing operations at nearby Tilekiln Farm.
Through a Conveyance and Trust Deed in January 1987, the Hunt family donated this land for community use and nature preservation.
Visitors can access the reserve through footpaths connecting Park Lane, Church Hill, and Coggeshall Road, with multiple walking routes throughout.
The Long Meadow section contains remnants of ancient fishponds that were originally constructed and maintained by a local monastery.
