A fallen beech in Knighton Wood
Introduction
The photograph on this page of A fallen beech in Knighton Wood by Andrew Dann 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

Knighton Wood was once the wooded garden of a local house. As a result, it has various exotic trees and ponds (see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/43549). Despite being surrounded now by the suburbs of Woodford Wells and Woodford Green, it has a few rarely visited areas. This mighty fallen beech (known to me as “the Serpent”), is hidden behind holly and brambles, no more than 130m from the nearest road and scarcely 30m from a well trodden path.
