Pedwardine Wood A distant view of the steep side of Pedwardine Wood. When I mapped some of it in the 1980's the steep facing slope was covered in mature Douglas Firs. They were cut down, and the new generation is growing fast. Part of the Brampton Bryan Estate and frequently used for orienteering. 
Taken from near Folly Farm over the border.
