About this deal

There is also a stile leading into the wood from the public footpath on the western side of the wood off the A22. Gibbons had first become familiar with the genre when she provided summaries of Webb's The Golden Arrow for the Evening Standard's 1928 serialisation. Bough Beech Visitor Centre - An important staging post for migrating birds during the spring and autumn, Bough Beech is one of the most celebrated and visited bird watching sites in the south east.

Broadhead Clough - Gorgeous upland woodland, typical of these acidic soils with oak, birch and holly, Broadhead Clough Nature Reserve offers a spectacular Pennine landscape with a dramatic past. The medieval moat that sits at its heart lends this wood its name, as well as a fittingly historic feel. As part of a series on "Unusual Women" she interviewed, among others, the former royal mistress Lillie Langtry.

Her biographer and nephew Reggie Oliver maintains that this is clearly a description of Telford Gibbons. Gibbons made her last overseas trip in 1966, to Grenoble in France where she visited her old friend Elizabeth Coxhead. After the haphazard teaching methods of her governesses, Stella initially had difficulty in adjusting to the strict discipline of the school, and found many of its rules and practices oppressive. The secret of Nightingale Wood was a joy to read, it had realistic and relatable characters which enhanced the emotional storyline. The title story in Gibbons's 1940 collection, Christmas at Cold Comfort Farm, failed to equal the impact of the original.

Stop by the woodland for a picnic, choose from three easy access trails for a peaceful outdoor walk or explore the trim trail play equipment, funded by the Great Western Community Forest project. It is one of the few remaining pockets of the former Forest of Essex - a royal hunting forest - and would once have provided venison for the king's table. AboutA shy bird, the nightingale is about the same size as a robin and a summer visitor, arriving here in April and leaving in September. The woodland becomes very popular in late spring due to the fantastic displays of bluebells which carpet the forest floor in certain areas. The open expanses of arable fields, marsh and meadow supported medieval villagers up to the 15th century.The land at Nightingale was purchased in the early 1990s along with the land at Overscourt Wood in the late 1990s and were both planted on former farmland for the benefit of local communities. The couple bought a house in Malden Crescent, Kentish Town, a working-class district of North London, where Telford established the medical practice in which he continued for the remainder of his life. This part really hooked me in on page 228 because Henry isn’t focusing on what’s around her – she’s just concentrating on her goal, which is rescuing Mama from Helldon. The settlement developed around the 11th century church of St Mary Magdalene, which still has the original walls of the nave, the north and south doorways and the font.

Today the moat is partly filled with water for most of the year, and surrounds a square island covered with mixed coppice. South Marston is not mentioned in the Domesday Book but has Saxon origins, mentioned as Merston in 1204.The Bell family also paid for the building of the schoolhouse, completed in 1873 with a bell tower, and the ‘Reading Room, which eventually became the Village Hall. Trinity Broads - While the cuckoo has been well studied during the breeding season in the UK, very little was known about the migration routes they take or where in Africa they spent the winter. The bog and surrounding birch woodland is very rich in birds including cuckoos, curlew, skylark, song thrush and reed bunting. Other historic features within the wood include banks, ditches, ponds and a causewayed track, as well as excavations, a saw-pit and culverts, ranging in date from medieval to the 19th century.
