Thorndon Park, Nature reserve in Brentwood, Essex, Great Britain.
Thorndon Park encompasses 141 hectares of semi-natural woodland and ancient parkland, featuring sessile oak, pedunculate oak, silver birch, and hornbeam trees.
The park grounds were initially part of the Thorndon Hall estate, owned by the Throckmorton family, before becoming a protected natural area.
The Essex Wildlife Trust organizes educational programs and guided nature walks, connecting local communities with environmental conservation practices.
The park divides into Thorndon North, accessed via The Avenue, and Thorndon South, reached through the A128 road, with designated walking trails.
The parkland contains rare beetle species and old oak pollards situated on acid grassland, earning its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
