Dist:0.6km<br/>Right up in its north-east corner the Chain Walk clips across this square enabling a view of Seven Acre Wood. An uncropped patch of maize, possibly providing cover for game birds, is in front.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The Hertfordshire Chain Walk is a long distance footpath that crosses the county from south to north, from the outskirts of London to Cambridgeshire. It is actually a series of consecutive circular walks hence the chain name. This section is looking south from near Queen Hoo Hall towards Bramfield Park Wood. This section of track is called Park Lane, a far cry from its more illustrious cousin [[1542756]]

Dist:0.7km<br/>Records of the Manor of Hoo pre-date the Domesday Book. The present hall was built around 1550, or around 1589 depending on which source one uses, as a farm house, although Queen Elizabeth I is said to have used it as a hunting lodge. Given the proximity of the site to Hatfield House where she spent her childhood that is not unlikely. Furthermore the Hoo family were related to Anne Boleyn, the mother of the Queen, so perhaps Royal patronage of the Hoo family home is the origin of the name Queen Hoo. The Hall is a private residence not open to the public and this view was taken from the footpath through the field to the south. There is a somewhat twee painting of the hall from Edwardian times here http://www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/images/post-cards/queen-hoo-hall.jpg

Dist:0.9km<br/>Martin [[141082]] and Robert [[1303488]] have already submitted images of the sign, but a brief sunny interval in an otherwise generally overcast day afforded an irresistible opportunity of a duplicate! The sign is actually a Millennium commemoration too with the year 2000 prominent in the display. The main feature in the picture on the sign is the River Mimram. The village of Tewin is actually set some distance away and up the valley slopes from the river.
