Hatfield House (Jacobean), built in 1611, is a country house set in the Great Park, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, UK
The shed on the old aerodrome site is the remnants of a 1930s era aerial lighthouse. There used to be a glass stricter holding searchlights which projected upwards to provide guidance for pilots flying in the night in pre-radar times. The working bits were moved to the Aircraft museum at Salisbury Hall in th 90s and then to North Weald. the remnants remain and are now a roost for barn owls.
The aerodrome site is now open to the public as Ellenbrook Fields and is one of my off road bike routes to work.

I cycled on forestwards, and ahead of me on a hill suddenly appeared a dramatic church tower, the houses falling away below it, thickets of dark trees beyond. I climbed to a delightful village, its main street lined by grand 18th and 19th Century buildings, and a pub at each end. It reminded me of Dedham. Halfway between the pubs was the church. A magnificent building - despite it being in the Jenkins book I wasn't prepared for how splendid it is. It is just the former nave of a vast Benedictine church, bankrolled by the de Veres. The splendour of the interior is partly due to a multitude of 18th Century furnishings - there is a feel of a smaller, simpler Walpole St Peter - after which the most famous feature, the stone effigy of a de Vere as a crusading knight, comes as something of a disappointment. This is the kind of church you can't be alone in, and a couple of people I spoke to were very friendly. This was the first church of the day that I thought I really must come back to. And then I veered eastwards from the forest entering the emptiest and most remote area of Essex. No villages for miles, just hamlets, fields and the occasional farmstead.

The Cecil Arms, in various forms and combinations are ubiquitous, leaving the visitor in no doubt as to who owns this pile. Like a cat spraying its territory...
The East Garden, which is only open one day per week. The garden is bordered on each side by double-avenues of holm oaks - these were once clipped into separate lollipops but have now merged into a single pleached mass.

Students participate in a self-guided tour called a tsunami quest at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. They followed clues that led them up a ramp to the top of a building where people can gather in the event of a tsunami. Oregon Sea Grant coordinates the creation of quests along the Oregon coast and publishes the educational walks in a book that people can buy.
