Asylum Wood
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 20 Apr 2011
A small remnant of a much larger wood that once occupied the area between Hurstwood Lane and Colwell Lane. Not named on the 1843 and probably given the current one after the nearby asylum was completed in 1859. There are a lot of permissive paths in the vicinity as well as a small housing estate which means the wood is probably well used by locals adults and children alike.
