Jubilee Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Huntingdonshire, a county in the eastern region of England. Covering an area of approximately 100 hectares, this forested area is known for its natural beauty and diverse wildlife.

The plantation is predominantly made up of various species of trees, including oak, beech, and pine. These towering trees create a dense canopy that provides a tranquil and shady environment for visitors to explore. The forest floor is covered with a thick layer of leaf litter, creating a soft carpet underfoot and providing a habitat for numerous small animals and insects.

Jubilee Plantation is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The woodland offers a network of well-maintained walking trails, allowing visitors to explore the forest and discover its hidden gems. These trails are suitable for all abilities and offer opportunities for both leisurely strolls and more challenging hikes.

The plantation is also home to a rich variety of wildlife, with many species finding sanctuary within its boundaries. Deer, rabbits, and squirrels are commonly spotted, while birdwatchers may catch a glimpse of woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds. The forest's diverse ecosystem provides ample food and shelter for these creatures.

Jubilee Plantation is a true haven for nature lovers, offering a peaceful retreat from the surrounding urban areas. Its stunning natural beauty, well-maintained trails, and abundant wildlife make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the tranquility and splendor of the English countryside.

Caldecote Manor Farm near Abbotsley

The farm buildings at the approach to the manor are hidden by the trees in the extensive garden - and there is a moat in there somewhere too.

Footpath from Hail Lane Abbotsley to St Neots

The straighforward path in the picture has replaced the complex of paths marked on the map, probably due to agricultural rationalisation and disappearing hedges. The view north-westwards includes Lower Wintringham, hidden by trees on the skyline.

Footpath from Eynesbury Hardwick to Abbotsley

A pleasant path across hilly fields towards Abbotsley. Eynesbury, where the path begins, is an ancient moated house, one of several in the district to survive, though these days its grounds feature a recently established golf course.
