Chiswell Green: Park Wood
Introduction
The photograph on this page of Chiswell Green: Park Wood by Nigel Cox as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

Very unusually for Hertfordshire, Park Wood mainly comprises a stand of coniferous trees with deciduous trees around its edges. When the Image was built in 1959 it cut through the northern end of the wood leaving an outlying section on the northern side of the motorway. The blue sheen in the foreground is created by a wealth of bluebells.
