Entrance to Forest Hall Forest Hall is the home of the Woodmen of Arden, a traditional archery club founded in 1785. There's something very fitting about its location, on the edge of Meriden, the traditional centre of England.

Outwoods, Packington This high sided lane was teaming with young game birds on this particular evening. Most had dispersed by the time I got my camera out. The hare which darted across the lane was also too fast for me.
