Track through the woods, Halton
This wood is adjacent to Halton RAF base which dominates the adjacent gridsquare. There are several paths through this woodland which is considerably lower down than Halton Wood which is part of Wendover Woods, the Forestry Commission land above the village.

Footpath into the woods, Halton
This is an unmarked path into the woods to the East of the footpath marked on the map at this point (which is just off to the left of this photograph). This little wood does not appear on the 1940s map suggesting that it is comparatively recent. The land to West of this point is taken up by RAF Halton and associated accommodation (both accommodation blocks and houses), however before its military use the land was probably owned by the Rothschilds as the Officers' Mess for example is an old Rothschild Mansion.
There is quite a substantial amount of development going on around here, and some of the former military-owned houses are up for sale to the general public.

A Magnificent View over Aylesbury Vale - apart from the heavy mist
No one sitting on the seat admiring the view today - but the woods take on a very different appearance on a misty November day.

A gap in the trees reveals Weston Turville Reservoir
There are several large open picnic areas adjacent to the track from the café to Boddington Banks. Nearly everywhere the bordering trees hide the views. The small gap at this point allows one to see Weston Turville Reservoir – but the trees are growing and, unless action is taken, it will be invisible in a few years time.
(Western Turville Reservoir was constructed in 1795 to supply water to what was then the Grand Junction Canal via the Wendover Arm.)

Two fir trees in a picnic area on Boddington Hill
Because the photo was taken in winter the difference between the evergreen fir and the deciduous larch is very obvious. The almost perfect shape of these two trees suggests that they have been free-standing for most if not all their lives. If they had been close-planted (as have the majority of conifers in Wendover Woods) they would have lost their lower branches.
