Aldenham Park Estate OS TQ1796, also includes Aldenham Country Park.

Aldenham Country Park.

A 65-acre reservoir with a circular footpath and 175 acres of woods and meadowland. Adventure playgrounds, rare breeds farm animals. There is angling, a nature trail, horse-riding and refreshments with an annual craft fair. Fields are available for holding corporate special events.

Early morning and late afternoon are the best times to visit this site as it gets very busy during the day, especially at weekends and school holidays.

Less than half a kilometre to the NW is the more enticing Hilfield Park Reservoir. (Entry by key from H&MWT. Members only).

Aldenham Park Estate.

Covers the other half of my Patchlist site. It is an area of Farmland and a private wood. Within the wood is 'Tykes Water', a 5-6 acre private fishing lake.

I have, obtained permission to roam the estate and I hope it turns up something of interest as the wood is rarely disturbed, except in winter when World War 3 erupts in the form of a Pheasant shoot!!! ( The best so far...Pair of LESSER SPOTTED WOODPECKER, PIED FLYCATCHER, CUCKOO & 2 Fledgling LITTLE OWL.

There is a Public Footpath that passes through part of the wood and farmland, entered from Butterfly Lane.

If you are at this end of the world, say hello. Im the Geezer with a pair of Leica's around my neck and a well behaved Springer Spaniel at my side... or nearby!!!

Patch Boundary: Species seen or heard from:- Start Public footpath at Jct ALLUM LANE & ELSTREE HILL NORTH to Aldenham CP. - Around perimeter of Reservoir exiting at DAGGER LANE into HOGG LANE, onto footpath to BUTTERFLY LANE, Whole length of BUTTERFLY LANE to WATLING STREET (A5). On to start point.
