Local history of the woodland and surrounding area (Page in development)
It is hoped that eventually this page will tell the story of the woods and surrounding area.
There is a lot to tell from burial mounds to the coming of the railway and much more.
To kick things off we start off with a few picture of Uddens House a long since demolished stately home whose Beech tree and Rhododendron lined drive way is still very much a part of the woods.
We really need help with this page though so if you have any picture we can carefully scan or stories and legends to tell please get in touch.
