Welcome to Oxhey Woods - but you can only stay for 2 hours
Mildly bizarre car parking arrangements: parking is always free, but for Monday to Saturday (inclusive) from 8 am to 6 pm, you can only stay for two hours (and you can't return within 2 hours). But on Sundays and Bank Holidays, when I would guess there would be more visitors than during the week, you can stay as long as you like.

Sandy Lane (A4125)
The observant might notice a very high security fence on the left-hand side of the road. And that the sign at the slight bend in the road in the distance says "Northwood Headquarters". What the bland sign doesn't say is that behind the fence are five military command and control functions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwood_Headquarters :
Headquarters, Joint Forces Command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Forces_Command ;
the Permanent Joint Headquarters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_Joint_Headquarters ;
the Multi National Headquarters - this is for the command of European Union military operations;
the Commander Operations for the Royal Navy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commander_Operations_(Royal_Navy) ; and
the NATO Allied Maritime Command https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Maritime_Command which reports to the Allied Joint Force Command Brunssum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Joint_Force_Command_Brunssum .
Directions for how to get there by bus, underground, rail, car and air, together with info about the dental facilities and the Mums and Toddlers group, can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwood_Headquarters .

Oxhey Woods Local Nature Reserve
One of six local nature reserves run by Three Rivers District Council, Oxhey Woods covers approximately 98 hectares (or, if it was square, an area of about one kilometre by one kilometre). Some of the woodland is quite ancient dating back to the last Ice Age some 10,000 years ago. The woods were designated as a nature reserve at the start of 1997.

South Oxhey: Oxhey Drive
I could swear that the white plastic bag was not there when I took the photo...
Anyway this is the sort of area where you have a security gate to your house and a security gate on the private road leading to the security gate to your house.
