Dist:0.2km<br/>I have [[1891832]] what these flowers growing in the Woodland Trust's [[1891801]] may be other than they might be a member of the primrose family. I have shown these pictures to a tutor in wild flower identification and was told they may be some form of False Oxlip which is a hybrid of Primrose & Cowslip.

Dist:0.2km<br/>I have no idea what these flowers growing in the Woodland Trusts [[1891801]] may be other than they might be a member of the primrose family see [[1891835]] for another angle.

Dist:0.3km<br/>These are the information boards near the car park of the Fordham Hall Estate. In 2002 more than 200 hectares of arable land were bequeathed by an anonymous donor to the Woodland Trust see http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/en/our-woods/Pages/wood-details.aspx?wood=5512 it is said to be the largest single new woodland in southern England. Some of the new planting can be seen in the background.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This was one of the first areas to planted in the new wood at Fordham Hall (http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/en/our-woods/Pages/wood-details.aspx?wood=5512). When we last visited, in 2004, all of the trees here were tiny saplings, no more than a metre or so high. It was interesting to see that now some species are over 3 metres high, whilst others are still no more than saplings.

Dist:0.4km<br/>One of the nature trail way-points in the Woodland Trust's [[1891801]] on this trail they were decorated in flags of all nations see also [[1891976]]. This area of the estate is destined to remain managed as grassland to increase the biodiversity. I can attest the skylarks seemed to approve!
