st anns hill, beech wood.

[sean]

went to st anns hill today.....a wooded hill which sits between the m25 and m3 motorways. Althopugh a constant hum emanating from these motorways a special place none the least.

 

 

The info board gives a tiny bit of info on the hill "St.Ann's Hill takes its name form a chapel built around 1334 dedicated to St.Ann. Its original name was Eldebury (Oldbury) Hill with an old fort, and there are traces of old earthen defences on the top. The most notable resident of the Hill was the radical politician Charles Fox whose house was opposite the present main entrance. The hill was presented to the Local Authority by Baron Camrose of Longcross and opened by the Rt.Hon. Neville Chamberlain MP in June 1928

Hi Sean, This is quite close to me and I would like to go and have a wonder in the woods.

Having trouble finding it on google though. Are there any larger towns close to it than I can search for on google maps or maybe you have a link. Cheers, Ben

[sean]

Hi Ben....its definately worth a wonder......and a wander:biggrin:

Its not far from Thorpe Park (which you can see from one of the viewpoints).

 

Its really nice up there, great place for a shortish dog walk, and safe too.

Not been up there since the winter, may take a walk up there tomorrow with the dogs.
