Marks Hall in Coggeshall has won an award for improving access for disabled visitors.
A new bridge leading to the arboretum was built and linked to a new 1,400-metre surfaced path to help wheelchair users and parents with buggies to reach the heart of the estate.
The Essex Environment Trust, which gave £20,000 towards the £100,000 project, awarded Marks Hall a certificate of merit for the work.
The trust gave out awards to the best projects it has funded that have been completed in the last year.

Good news for an already attractive spot in the Essex countryside; just a shame that the actual Hall (the stately home) was demolished in the 50s.

We currently have an archaeological dig underway at Marks Hall, exploring the foundations of the Mansion Site. We will be hosting a Heritage Open Day on Thursday 6th August, focusing on the history of Marks Hall and Colchester Archaeological Group will be conducting tours of the excavation site offering information on finds and the story this tells, in addition to this we will also have a history trail around the grounds for people to follow which will focus on other aspects of the Estate history. For more information on events at Marks Hall please visit our website www.markshall.org.uk
