ストンドンマジーの天然記念物・トップ5

A great place for a walk before paying a visit to the Garnon Bushes pub in Coopersale!🙂

The gravel here is glacial. The sand and pebbles at the base of the wall show a cross section of river beds that flowed from an ice sheet 450,000 years ago.

This peaceful country park is the perfect place to go for a quiet stroll. There are giant redwoods here, a rare sight in England and they form a stunning avenue. The park was originally part of the royal Havering Palace estate and Charles I stayed here in the 17th century. Today, it's simply a glorious place for a walk and the London LOOP path travels through it.

Big, beautiful Redwood trees. Not as big as the ones in California, but these are significantly younger, planted by the McIntosh family about 150 years ago.

No structure of the castle remains and are located on private land, but you can still see the high mound of the Norman motte and bailey. And Ongar has some lovely shops and eateries.

Gernon Bushes Nature Reserve is a pocket of ancient woodland that is home to many rare marsh plants and flowers. It is the last remnant of the old Coopersale Common that once linked Epping Lower Forest to Ongar Park, the Royal Hunting Forest. Keep a look-out for the rare marsh fern, as well as lady fern, bogbean, marsh valerian, marsh marigold, and ragged robin.

No remains of the castle exists, but still nice to walk around and explore.
