Highdown Hill Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in the county of Warwickshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, this enchanting forest is nestled within the rolling hills of the region.

The woodland is predominantly composed of a variety of tall trees, including oak, beech, and maple, which create a dense canopy overhead. This lush vegetation provides a haven for a diverse range of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and a wide array of bird species.

The plantation is crisscrossed by a network of well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. These paths wind through the woodland, offering panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and providing opportunities for peaceful walks and tranquil picnics.

Highdown Hill Plantation is also home to a number of historical features that add to its charm. The remnants of an ancient hill fort can be found at the top of the hill, providing a glimpse into the area's rich past. Additionally, there are several well-preserved dry stone walls that once marked the boundaries of the plantation, adding a touch of rustic character to the landscape.

The woodland is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and families looking for a day out in the countryside. The serene atmosphere, coupled with the abundance of flora and fauna, makes Highdown Hill Plantation a haven for those seeking solace in nature.

The French drain catches surface water before it reaches the property. At least, so I deduce. Beautiful pebbles.
