Ampthill Forest, Central Bedfordshire, UK: Ampthill Forest consists of a number of large, interlinked woods. These are a mixture of deciduous and conifer plantations and offer splendid views of stunning autumn foliage in the Fall.

These ancient and peaceful woodlands are located on a Greensand Ridge in central Bedfordshire. Part of the forest is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as it contains a large remnant of ancient forest. It is managed by the UK’s Forestry Commission and has good paths throughout. It’s a great place to spot wildlife too.

This photo shows an old decaying fence in the foreground, with the muted colors of autumn foliage from the beech trees in the background; it’s in a sheltered valley in Maulden Wood.

Location: Maulden woods – part of Ampthill forest. Clophill is the nearest village in Central Bedfordshire, MK45 2AE, England.

This is the first of a series of image which I hope will convey the pleasure of living close with nature with adequate space to roam. I will showcase the scenery and flora which and mood which adorns our very special little patch of Earth.

Planted in 1989 by my wife and I, in what used to be a hay field, some of these 1000 Red Pines are over thirty feet tall. Together they form a wonderful sun shaded area where the wind sings through the needles.

A peaceful morning walk through a beautiful tree-lined path in the Veluwe, Netherlands. The towering trees create a natural archway, with the soft sunlight filtering through the canopy, illuminating the dirt trail and casting a gentle glow. The lone figure in the distance adds to the tranquil atmosphere, making this scene feel like a serene retreat into nature.

Giant Beech Tree, Ashridge Forest, Hertfordshire, UK

Details: Ashridge offers particularly splendid autumn views of very ancient, pollarded beech trees in the Frithsden Beeches area (shown here in this photo). Another great place is 'Lady's Walk' - between Berkhamsted Common and Thunderdell Wood - off the B4506 towards Woodyard Cottages.

Location: The National Trust’s Ashridge Park visitors centre is located at Moneybury Hill, Ringshall, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, HP4 1LT, England, UK.

There's a lovely quality about a forest at night, even with the manmade paths and lights

Leonardslee Gardens: Woodland Walks

For a few weeks in May of each year, Leonardslee Gardens in West Sussex, UK, erupt into a spectacular display of the most amazing color combinations of flowering rhododendrons and azaleas. The green, wooded valley gardens then turn into a place of vibrant colors and outstanding natural beauty. Filled with the scent of the massed azalea plantings the whole area becomes a forest paradise. Visitors have often described its peace and tranquility as being like ‘heaven on earth’.

This photograph depicts a quiet woodland path through Leonardslee gardens with fallen blossoms from an ancient pink rhododendron. The picture has an aura of sadness with the dark path and fallen flowers, but there is light ahead.

For many years, tens of thousands of visitors have enjoyed the picture postcard qualities of this Grade 1 historic garden. Unfortunately, the gardens are now closed to the public as they have been sold to an international businessman.

Details: Leonardslee Gardens is a truly outstanding English landscape garden having a Grade 1 Historic Garden status (English Heritage Register). It covers about 240 acres (97 Hectares) in a wooded valley, contains seven lakes and is extensively planted with azaleas, ancient rhododendrons (some well over 100 years old), acers and camellias - all with a delightful under planting of bluebells in spring.

The great Victorian plant collector, Sir Edmund Loder (who gave his name to the large flowered and scented Loderi Rhododendron Hybrids) purchased the estate in 1889 and planted large numbers of Rhododendrons there. Sir Giles Loder later planted an extensive collection of camellias at Leonardslee. The estate remained in the hands of five generations of the Loder family until 2010 when it was sold to an international businessman. However, the Loder Rhododendron nursery was not sold and is still in business.
