Galleywood common
Site of old racecourse
Galleywood common is another local historical site approximately 2 miles south of Chelmsford centre. From Great Baddow, turn up Galleywood road by the White Horse pub and continue to the traffic lights at the junction with the road to Stock. Cross over to the Margaretting road and car parking is available and signed approximately 200 yards along this road to the left.
The railings mark the remains of the old Galleywood racecourse and provide a number of short walks along the old course. It is also possible to walk from here to Hylands Park.
