Also worth visiting Pear Wood, which is an extension of Stanmore Park. Full of bluebells and there is a large lake

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.

So is this the ancient Weald Stone? Ultimately, we cannot be 100% certain that the lump of rock outside Bombay Central (the former Red Lion) is the same stone that gave Wealdstone its name. However, its location on the High Road matches up persuasively with the Tudor rolls. A 1948 study by the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society puts the connection "beyond all reasonable doubt". That's good enough for me. Despite the recognition by Historic England as a Grade II-listed "building", the stone sits on the pavement without any form of plaque or interpretation board. That's a pity, but it also adds to the enigma of this curious piece of stone.

The wealdstone stone, awesome to see

As you walk through Trent Country Park, you might not be expecting to come across a medieval moat. But that's exactly what you'll discover. Probably built in the 14th century, there was once a lodge here that may have been used to detain those who broke forest laws. There was a wooden drawbridge to cross the water.

Old moated lodge, now a scheduled Ancient Monument.

beautiful woodland for all to enjoy

This Grade II-listed building was named in honour of Sir Hugh Myddelton, who oversaw the construction of the New River water supply aqueduct, which runs through the grounds. Today, there's a tea room, a visitor centre and a museum. The gardens are a botanist's delight. Crocus and wisteria hog the limelight in winter and spring, while summer sees the kitchen garden in full bloom. In autumn, the grounds subtly shift to hues of gold, orange and red.

Wood Farm was opened to the public in 2015 and has been a working farm until the end of the 20th century. The farm buildings disappeared, only the Old Dairy still exists and is now a visitor centre. The viewpoint has a wide panoramic view from Alexandra Palace in the east to Heathrow in the southwest, and over London to Box Hill in the south (on a clear day that is). There is also a bathing pond on the way to the viewpoint.

A fantastic woodland for bluebells and wood anemones in the spring, and diverse fungi in the autumn.

It is a beautiful panoramic view from Alexandra Place in the east to Heathrow in the southwest, and over London to Box Hill in the south.

A fantastic woodland for bluebells and wood anemones in the spring, and diverse fungi in the autumn. It contains remnants of a landscaped 18th century ‘pleasure gardens’

You can see heathrow airport and central london from this viewpoint. Very beautiful on a sunny day and also at night. If your looking for a family day out, this is the place. This area also has a decent amount of trails to explore on your two wheels.
