Pine trees in Haw Park Nature Reserve, Walton These were planted to supply pit props, but these are no longer needed. They are gradually being felled and native trees planted. Bracken is thriving under the trees. I think they are Lodgepole pines.

The nine-foot wall, Walton This was built by Charles Waterton to keep poachers out of his estate and protect the wildlife. Behind the wall the woodland is called The Heronry, but herons do not nest here now.

Lookout tower, The Heronry, Walton &#039;Tower&#039; is an exaggeration as there is no room for a staircase inside. It is the only surviving of five built by Charles Waterton for observing wildlife. There is a doorway on the other side but I am surprised that there are not more small holes to look through. It was restored by the Rotary Club of Wakefield as a Millennium project funded by the National Lottery via the Countryside Commission. The roof is in the foreground.
