I'm glad I included this church yard in my hike. It was a pleasant detour. I recommend it.

It was a struggle to find the correct tree for me.

This is just a little waterfall but worth going to have a look at. It is quite amazing that the waterfall is located in a lane that is right in the middle of a residential area. It is however close to a good walking route.

The glorious woodland of Durford Heath was actually heathland, as the name suggests, until 150 years ago and some patches of heather are still evident. Then it was planted with oaks and coppiced regularly to provide charcoal for the iron industry. This area is now managed by the National Trust which, to maintain a variety of wildlife, has provided glades, wide tracks and clearings. We can now enjoy some glorious, light and sunny, mixed woodland, including some of the best examples of sessile oak in the south-east.

One of the oldest Yew trees in the UK, in the cemetery of the church.

Rake Hanger is a 70-acre (28.2 ha) Site of Special Scientific Interest near Hill Brow on the border between West Sussex and Hampshire. The area has a footpath that goes along the foot of the scarp, forming part of the Serpent Trail long-distance footpath. A hanger is an area of woodland on a incline and Rake is just one example of such that are liberally dotted across the countryside of the South Downs. Sessile oaks are found on the slope, whilst alder thrives on the wetter ground at the foot of the escarpment.

One of the largest trees in Bordon Inclosure managed woodland, the King Oak is estimated to be about 470 years old (and still counting).
