Galleywood Heritage Centre, The Common, Galleywood, Chelmsford, Essex, CM2 8TR
Located on Galleywood Common, the Heritage Centre’s main building is a conversion of the 1920s grandstand from the heyday of horse racing. A listening bench in the ground has stories from yesteryear from the Galleywood residents past & present.
Just outside the grounds on Galleywood Common, the track of the old racecourse can be seen. A short walk across the free public car park close by brings visitors to the remains of the Napoleonic era Star Fort earthworks which has an interpretation board.
Sensible shoes and appropriate clothing should be worn in case of inclement weather.
The Horseshoe tea room will be open after the walk for hot and cold drinks, hot food and homemade cakes. Check opening hours on website nearer the time.
