Tatnall's Wood

The Forest is Closed For some reason Forestry England have closed Aston Hill Coppice. The car park and trails are all shut with barriers, and notices like this have been put up.
No idea what's going on, and whatever it is doesn't look to be very urgent.

Tatnall's Wood is a charming woodland located in Buckinghamshire, England. Situated in the heart of the county, it covers an area of approximately 50 acres, offering visitors a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The woodland is characterized by its diverse range of tree species, including oak, beech, birch, and pine. These trees create a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter, creating a haven for a variety of wildlife. The forest floor is adorned with a carpet of bluebells during the spring months, creating a breathtaking sight for nature enthusiasts.

Tatnall's Wood is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore the area at their own pace. These paths lead to hidden corners and secluded spots, perfect for picnics or simply enjoying the serenity of the surroundings. As visitors wander through the wood, they may encounter a plethora of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and a wide array of bird species.

The woodland has a rich history, with evidence of human activity dating back centuries. It was once part of a larger estate and has retained its natural beauty despite its proximity to neighboring villages and towns. Tatnall's Wood is now owned and managed by the local council, who ensure its preservation and accessibility for the enjoyment of the public.

For nature lovers, Tatnall's Wood is a true gem, offering a peaceful retreat where one can connect with nature and experience the beauty of Buckinghamshire's woodlands.

No Access to the Forest For some reason Aston Hill Coppice, an area of Forestry England access land, has been closed. This is the entrance to the parking area. Other access points are similarly shut. No idea why.
In the background is a small historical monument to do with Aston Martin cars which owe the name to events here. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1262861">SP8910 : The Origin of the Aston Martin Car</a>

One Way Road, Wendover Woods Vehicle access to the parking and visitor area in Wendover Woods is down quite a long forest drive on a single track road. It is a pleasant wooded drive with viewpoints along the way, but it's a private road with a barrier at the end and it will cost you £2 minimum to get out again, depending how long you stay.

Field north of Wendover Woods Wendover Woods has the highest point of the Chiltern Hills which is also the 'county top' of Buckinghamshire. A stone in the woods marks what is considered to be the highest point, though it's not marked on OS maps. This field lies to the east of the stone; the view is to the west and the trees of Tatnall's Wood.

Chivery Cottage from Black Wood This good looking house with unusual full height windows fitted between the old beams of the rear gables is I believe called Chivery Cottage. The view is from the path from The Crong to Chivery just as it has emerged from Black Wood.
