The Osiers

A mixture of Oak, Sycamore, Hornbeam and Ash, this wood has a dense canopy and the usual ground flora of the park's woodlands. It is the best place in the park to see the Yellow Archangel. The margins of the wood have a good showing of Hawthorn and along the riverbank you can find Hazel and Alder.
Once a very peaceful spot the birdsong is now virtually drowned out by the noise from the M25. No longer a pleasant place to sit unless the M25 has come to a halt, an event that seems to occur with ever increasing regularity. As they say, every cloud has a silver lining.
