Four Acre Wood, located in Surrey, England, is a charming and picturesque woodland area encompassing approximately four acres. Situated in the southeast of England, Surrey is renowned for its natural beauty, and Four Acre Wood is no exception.

The wood boasts a diverse range of native tree species, including oak, beech, and birch, which form a dense canopy overhead, providing ample shade and shelter for the woodland floor. The forest floor is carpeted with a rich tapestry of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, creating a vibrant and enchanting atmosphere.

Wandering through Four Acre Wood, visitors are treated to a symphony of bird song, with species such as chiffchaffs, blackcaps, and great tits filling the air with their melodious calls. The wood also provides a habitat for a variety of mammals, including foxes, badgers, and squirrels, which can often be spotted scurrying among the undergrowth.

The woodland is crisscrossed with well-maintained footpaths, allowing visitors to explore and appreciate its natural wonders. These paths wind their way through the wood, leading to secluded clearings and tranquil ponds. The wood is also home to a small stream, which adds to its charm and provides a source of water for the local wildlife.

Four Acre Wood is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, walkers, and families seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of nature. Its serene atmosphere, diverse flora and fauna, and stunning natural landscapes make it a true gem within the Surrey countryside.

Shallon - Gaultheria shallon - near Hydon's Ball I've never seen this plant before. I think I've got the identification right, but I'm happy to be corrected. Shallon is a naturalised native of western North America. A member of the heather family, it grows on acid soils and is regarded as somewhat invasive. It certainly seemed to be dominant here, growing in profusion on either side of the path.
