Brush Hill Plantation

Erratic Trees in Sergeant's Wood An area of closely packed beech saplings. Far too many to all survive so I guess natural selection is at work. Some have already given up and died. I suspect these ones shooting off in odd directions won&#039;t make it to maturity either. — Erratic Trees in Sergeant's Wood Credit: Des Blenkinsopp

Old Gate in Sergeant's Wood

A woodland track which must have needed gates at one time. Not recently by the look. As is often seen in the Chilterns, there is good public footpath access to these woodlands.

Decorated Pillar Box, Princes Risborough

Situated in High Street HP27 0AX, this pillar box is decorated on top with knitted woolly items relating to Christmas. These include a Christmas Tree with a star on top, father Christmas and a Snowman. They will probably be removed after Christmas.

North End of Whiteleaf Hill

The tree ahead, like a lot round here, has thick ivy covering it's lower trunk. Whiteleaf Hill Local Nature Reserve is one of 12 sites managed in the Chilterns by the Chiltern Society charity. Brush Hill Local Nature Reserve, another one of theirs, is situated adjacent to this one, on the other side of Peters Lane, the road leading up here from Monks Risborough. The Chilterns are chalk hills situated NorthWest of London, covering an area of about 700 square miles, that run from NorthEast to Southwest. They drop steeply on the North side, and more gradually on the South towards the River Thames. The steep slopes to the North give rise to the range sometimes getting called the Chiltern Scarp or Escarpment. About half their area is designated as an Area of Outstanding Beauty.

At the bottom of Kop Hill

Typical Chiltern fields and woods scenery near Princes Risborough. Kop Hill itself is a steep stretch of road which in 1910 became the venue for hill climbing events for cars and bikes. Regular events were stopped in 1925 for safety reasons, but recently there has been a revival. Link
