Halton

The Forest is Closed For some reason Forestry England have closed Aston Hill Coppice. The car park and trails are all shut with barriers, and notices like this have been put up. No idea what's going on, and whatever it is doesn't look to be very urgent.

Halton is a predominantly residential area with a population of around 1,600 people. The village itself is characterized by a mix of architectural styles, ranging from traditional thatched cottages to modern houses. The parish also includes RAF Halton, a Royal Air Force training station that has been in operation since 1913. The presence of the airbase has contributed to the local economy and provided employment opportunities for residents.

No Access to the Forest For some reason Aston Hill Coppice, an area of Forestry England access land, has been closed. This is the entrance to the parking area. Other access points are similarly shut. No idea why. In the background is a small historical monument to do with Aston Martin cars which owe the name to events here. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1262861">SP8910 : The Origin of the Aston Martin Car</a>

The Forbidden Forest Aston Hill Coppice, an area of wooded access land, has been closed to the public by Forestry England for some reason. This is a view from the footpath along the edge. Nothing obvious going on.

One Way Road, Wendover Woods Vehicle access to the parking and visitor area in Wendover Woods is down quite a long forest drive on a single track road. It is a pleasant wooded drive with viewpoints along the way, but it's a private road with a barrier at the end and it will cost you £2 minimum to get out again, depending how long you stay.

Discover Boddington Hill Not all that obvious now it is in the middle of woodland, but there is a large Iron Age hill fort up here in what would have been a very commanding position. Once you know what you are looking at, some of the remaining earthworks are there to find in amongst the trees. This is at the north end of the fort, with a visitor board telling you a bit about it.
