ハドリーウッドでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Great place to pop in for a pint at the end of the walk (not too expensive either). Lots of indoor space and big beer garden out back.

Jack's Lake is the lowest of three lakes originally created in the 1880s as estate lakes for Squire Charles Jack, who owned nearby Beech Hill House.

Crosses the thameslink line to King's Cross

Pub and restaurant with a decent beer garden. A good place to stop at the end of section 16 or 17 of the London LOOP (depending which way you come from).

The ghost of Geoffrey De Mandeville, Earl of Sussex and Hertfordshire and Constable of the Tower of London has been haunting the Moat since the 12th Century. He was arrested for treason and hid his treasure down  a very deep well which he guards. Many have tried to find the well but so far none have succedded

The moat’s main use was probably defensive. One use of the lodge would have been to detain individuals who had broken the harsh forest laws. The moat would also have helped to drain the site, been used for rubbish disposal and possibly for keeping fish.

Poor quality excavations in the late 1880s and again in 1923 suggested that the lodge was quite substantial, with rubble masonry walls and glazed floor tiles in some rooms. The name Camlet remains a mystery. It first appears in local records in 1440 AD. The moat was originally crossed by a wooden drawbridge, the base frame of which was lifted in 1923 and recorded in 1949. A small piece found recently was dendro-chronologically dated to c.1357.
