Fourteen Acre Wood, located in Sussex, is a picturesque forest spanning approximately fourteen acres. Nestled amidst the rolling hills of the English countryside, this woodland is a haven for nature enthusiasts and offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city life.

The wood boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a delightful destination for wildlife enthusiasts and botanists alike. Towering oak and beech trees dominate the landscape, their canopies forming a dense cover that filters sunlight and creates a cool, shaded atmosphere. Underneath these majestic giants, a rich understory of ferns, bluebells, and wildflowers thrives, painting the forest floor with bursts of vibrant colors during spring and summer.

Several well-maintained trails wind their way through Fourteen Acre Wood, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its natural beauty. These paths meander through the forest, leading to clearings, babbling brooks, and hidden glens. Birdsong fills the air, providing a soothing soundtrack as visitors walk along the trails, while squirrels dart among the branches, adding a touch of playfulness to the serene atmosphere.

Fourteen Acre Wood also features a small pond, which serves as a watering hole for various species of birds and small mammals. With a bit of luck and patience, visitors may catch a glimpse of kingfishers, herons, or even elusive otters that call this woodland their home.

For those seeking tranquility and a connection with nature, Fourteen Acre Wood in Sussex offers a peaceful retreat, where one can immerse themselves in the beauty of the natural world.

Equipment at the water treatment plant This is a small site - I couldn't see much else apart from the two green tanks. It smells a bit too, but luckily it's quite a way from any houses
