Different Part Grove is a woodland located in the county of Essex, England. Situated in the district of Epping Forest, this grove is a part of the extensive Epping Forest woodland complex. The name "Different Part Grove" is derived from the fact that it is distinct from the main body of Epping Forest, with its own unique characteristics.

Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, Different Part Grove is predominantly composed of ancient oak and beech trees, providing a picturesque and serene environment. These trees have been protected for centuries, contributing to the grove's status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a designated Nature Reserve.

The woodland is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. Bluebells, wild garlic, and primroses are some of the wildflowers that bloom in spring, creating a vibrant display of colors. Various bird species, including woodpeckers and tawny owls, can be spotted amongst the treetops, while small mammals such as squirrels and foxes inhabit the forest floor.

Different Part Grove offers a range of recreational activities for visitors. There are several walking trails that meander through the woodland, allowing nature enthusiasts to explore its beauty at their own pace. The grove also accommodates designated picnic areas, perfect for enjoying a meal amidst the tranquility of nature.

Overall, Different Part Grove in Essex is a cherished natural gem, offering a peaceful escape from the bustling urban life. Its ancient trees, diverse wildlife, and recreational facilities make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking a connection with nature.

Great Stampford Aerodrome This bridle path crosses the former Great Stampford Aerodrome. You can see from the picture why this level ground was chosen for an airfield. The runways were made from prefabricated metal tracking so there is no evidence of them now, although the perimeter track is still largely extant. The field was intended as a satellite to RAF Debden but after less than a year's operations Debden was reassigned to the USAAF. The site was then used by the RAF regiment as a training base until 1944.
