Rayleigh Mount itself is a little nature park with a couple of ponds. There used to be a castle on to – the only Essex castle mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Like most of the early Norman castles, it was built from wood, on an earth mound or motte. The first lord of the manor of Rayleigh was Sweyne who had the castle built.
