Bicknacre Meadow
About
Our Bicknacre Meadow is a safe, secure meadow to book for solo use.
When booking the meadow you will receive a confirmation email, you will receive an other email 24hours before your booking and a final one a hour before with the field gate code in it.
​
When arriving at the road gates and unlocking and relocking the gates you will then follow a long gravel track down to the meadow, if you are early please wait along this track until you your time so that the person before you has space and time to leave and not be in your way!
As you approach the parking area you may like to reverse up to the gate to make it easer to get your dogs out as the parking area is not enclosed.
There is parking for 2 cars and we do not allow any more than this at a time!
There is a chain and lock around the gate post of the entrance gate in case you feel you would like to be locked in this is not essential but the code is the same as the other lock if you do want to use it.
Directions
The post code for Bicknacre Meadow is CM3 4LP but this doesn't always take you to the gateway. From Danbury/Maldon, travel towards Bicknacre on White Elm Road, pass Billericay Fuels (BFS) on the left and the entrance is the first gateway on the right before the houses. From Bicknacre, follow the White Elm road round the corner, passing Slough Lane on the right, and the entrance is the last gateway after the houses on the left. The Wagtail Meadow sign is posted on the double sliver gates.

The Fence
When in the meadow you will find that the fence is 150 cm high stock fencing with smaller holes at the bottom getting bigger at the top. It is dug into the ground with an extra layer of chicken wire.
The tractor gate is locked and is not to be used. This is also 150cm high and has sleepers underneath so nothing can squeeze under.
The entrance gate is also 150cm high with paving stone step to reduse the gap at the bottom but also allow to swing.
