アボッツ・ラングリーの湖・トップ20

This nature reserve is maintained by volunteers. it is very special because it features a chalk stream which are very rare in the world.

Don't miss the numerous Roman sites/sights in the park.

Gilbert's Lake is currently being run dry as an invasive species was found in the water. Hopefully all will be well next year

The lake has a far more intriguing story to it than might meet the eye. It lies within the old estate of Grim's Dyke, former home to W. S. Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan fame – the creators of Pirates of Penzance and H.M.S. Pinafore amongst many other plays. Gilbert drowned in the lake when he was 74, during a rescue attempt of a young woman.

Chipperfield Common is a 117-acre (47 ha) area of former heathland that has developed into beautiful woodland since grazing stopped here in the 1930s. There are a quintet of ponds on the common, as well as eight ancient sweet chestnut trees. Evidence of a Neolithic history can be seen in the form of two Bronze Age burial mounds.

Good place for a coffee stop. "The Deli" serves excellent coffee and has a good range of snacks. There are tables inside and outside or if they're busy, there are benches on the green opposite.

Poet John Milton lived here and there is a small museum on the hill out of town.

Beautiful little nature reserve full of colours and history
