Taken over a couple of days
Jubilee field named in honor of the queens silver jubilee. It was gifted to the village and at one time was the grazing pasture for cattle. Over to the right out of sight is the brook over which they built a bridge to get to the filed from the recreation ground
Looking the other way you see a Millennium wood planted as you might guess in 1999/2000 to commemorate it
The wood you are looking at now is 25 years old and is situated in a triangle of land between the old branch line and the brook. There are three ways in now, this is one of them
The trees have grown well over the years though some did not survive
The bridge is more recent and crosses the stream that comes from the bulls hole which over the years has silted up because no cattle graze in the fields any more
The paths seem to go on a long way but here we are returning back to Jubilee field
The wood is home to a lot of wild life now
Looking back to the bridge here
Take care
What a wonderful place to go walking. LOVE the clouds in the first photo.
ReplyDeleteGood to see some of these Millenium projects flourishing after 25 years. I am now living in the Croydon area with excellent transport into Central London so I have no excuse not to continue my Underground Challenge!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to see 25 year old trees have made a real woodland forest.
ReplyDeleteYou would never guess the wood was only 25 years old! It has grown really well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful area, it looks very much like where we live! Thank you for sharing and for taking part in #MySundaySnapshot.
