English: Sunlight in the Million, Enville, Staffordshire The Million, near Enville in Staffordshire, is a plantation of pine trees probably dating from just after the second world war. Earlier maps do not show the name and I can find no reference to it in older archives. Presumably so many trees were planted here that people would say, “there must be a million trees growing up there,” and the name stuck, and now appears on all local maps. It is sometimes referred to as the “Kinver Million”. Older maps show the land as rough, with areas of deciduous woodland. Was this part of the ancient (Royal) Kinver Forest? Some of these broadleaf trees remain. The map of 1889 available on the British History map site (see here http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55137&sheetid=8342&ox=2328&oy=2467&zm=4&czm=4&x=368&y=246 ) shows that the (roughly) circular track way still in existence through the forest in the northern part of The Million used to be a race course. Many of the ways through the forest are used now for horse riding, though only one is actually marked as a public bridleway. Near the old race course, a former shooting clubhouse now belongs to dog training enthusiasts, and an open area nearby has been recently fenced off as a dog showing area. Dog training occurs regularly on weekends, and notices are put up (apparently) but I saw none on my recent Sunday visit. I certainly heard plenty of dog life!
