DAYS OUT: Bentley Priory Woods, Stanmore

When we visited Teresa’s family, we also re-visited this ol’ haunt.

A place Teresa used to come as a child. And somewhere she’s bought me once or twice in the past as well.

She remembered her way around very impressively. And we were blessed with wonderful weather.

It’s a very lovely place, indeed. With rolling meadowlands, and ancient woodlands.

And there are lakes. And a herd of free roaming cattle. I think the walls (and occasional very tight ‘gates’) are there to contain the cows.

We saw plenty of folk – though not too many – enjoying this gorgeous green space whilst we were there.

Teresa also took us back to The Aulde Tree, still huge and venerable. But now it has an iron ring around it.

Leaving the woods…

Finally the time came to head back to the car. On the way back to where we parked we came across a lone wandering Canada Goose.

All in all, an utterly gorgeous place. And lovely to return to, all these years later.
