- Places & Travel
Tucked away behind rows of houses just 13 miles from central London, we discover an ancient wood with a fascinating history stretching back to Roman times. Site manager Peter Coles shows us World War II bomb craters, restored heathland, a ‘strong ditch’ built to help keep Roman Londoners out of Saxon Kent, and much more. We also meet the Trust’s Lorienne Whittle and volunteer Greg Tingey, who tell us why tracking the effects of weather and climate change on UK wildlife is so important.
