Boardwalk over the swampy bit

Just off Harvest Ride there is a small area of damp woodland, a remnant of what was here before the whole place was built over. There is a footpath through the middle of it.

A bit of a park

A patch of informal open space amongst all the houses. I guess it's called something, but there wasn't a name by the way I came in and there isn't one on the map.

The Hidden Lake

This lake is hidden by trees and covered with duckweed. A nearby road is named "Rachels Lake View", but there is no way they could see it through the trees!

Purple Loosestrife at Lily Hill Park

The hollow where these flowers grow must be damper than the rest of the park. Lily Hill Park is maintained by Bracknell Forest Borough Council, with wildlife in mind, and is very pleasant to walk in.
