Hackfall Woods - the fountain at the fountain pond in full flow The Woodland Trust's 'Hackfall Walks' leaflet describes the fountain as follows - 'The fountain at the pond was originally created in 1756 as part of William Aislabie's master plan for Hackfall...... The fountain has now been restored using modern pipework and a gravity feed system filled from a natural spring on the hillside above. Once a certain water level is achieved in the system, a tumbler opens a valve and water flows to the fountain'. The Ruin folly can be seen on the skyline.

Pines on Oak Bank Plenty of pine trees on Oak Bank, but little evidence of oaks. Looking back through old OS maps, it appears that this eastern end of Nutwith Common has been wooded for a very long time [at least since the mid 19thC]. However, the major part of the common appears to have had few trees until after 1956, the present extensive plantations not appearing on maps until the 1970's.
