Hylands Park
Hylands Park in Chelmsford is a hugely popular historic parkland with over 230 hectares of grassland, ancient woodland, ponds, lakes and formal gardens. The site hosts the annual V-Festival.
The Grazing Project is working with the City Council to restore 13 hectares of the park to species-rich grassland along the river Wid.
