A fallen beech in Knighton Wood
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.

Part of Buxton's Pond in Knighton Wood
Knighton Wood, together with the adjacent Lords Bushes, is a remnant of Epping Forest. Knighton Wood was enclosed in the 18th century and remained in private ownership until 1930, when it was returned to Epping Forest as public open space. From 1863 the Knighton Estate was owned by Edward North Buxton who was a leading campaigner for Epping Forest. He laid out his grounds around the house which included a one and a half acre lake called Knighton Lake, but also sometimes referred to as Buxton’s Pond. Knighton Wood was known for its spring show of rhododendrons and daffodils.
In June 1930 the Duke of Connaught, Chief Ranger of Epping Forest, opened Knighton Wood as a public open space for local people, and since that time it has been managed by the Corporation of London. In 1990 Knighton Wood and the adjacent Lords Bushes were designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
