Bush Wood is a picturesque woodland area located in the county of Hertfordshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 150 acres, this ancient woodland is situated near the town of Welwyn Garden City, in close proximity to the Great North Road.

The wood is predominantly made up of native tree species such as oak, ash, and beech, giving it a diverse and vibrant ecosystem. The canopy of the trees provides a cool and shady environment, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely walk or a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The woodland floor is covered in a thick carpet of bluebells during the spring, creating a stunning display of color and attracting nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. The undergrowth is also home to a variety of other wildflowers, ferns, and fungi, further enhancing the natural beauty of the area.

Bush Wood is a haven for wildlife, serving as a habitat for a wide range of animal species. Visitors may spot deer, foxes, badgers, and numerous bird species, including woodpeckers and owls. The wood also contains a small pond, which provides a home for frogs, newts, and other aquatic creatures.

The wood is intersected by a network of footpaths, allowing visitors to explore the area and appreciate its natural wonders. The peaceful ambiance and beautiful surroundings make Bush Wood a popular destination for nature lovers, walkers, and families looking to enjoy the outdoors.

Cricket near the pub At the northern edge of the square the small building marked on the public footpath across the road from the pub is a cricket pavilion. Oddly, the cricket pitch seems to be in the middle of a golf course.

Strange little building This unusual little building stands in the grounds of Beesonend Farm House. I've classified it as a shed, but I'm sure there is - or at least was - more to it than that.

Dusty Miller - Redbournbury Mill The miller/baker appears for a breath of fresh air.
Mill not open today but milling using electric power. This is unusual as the three stones are driven by bevels off a layshaft rather than being grouped around a single great spur wheel.
