A walk in the woods, a communion with nature and a way of escaping the overwhelming and all invasive noise and mental clutter of modern life. A time to be alone with your thoughts or even better an opportunity for mindfulness and just being in the moment. Burly Old Enclosure has always held a special place in my heart, it's in one of a group of roams I walk with some frequency. One of the older Enclosures, 122 acres enclosed in 1700, and you can sense its longstanding. A mix of mainly mature straight Beech destined for the admiralty yards, Oak and where the under story allows or, where the canopy has been opened to the light by a falling leviathan, a range of shrub trees. When the canopy is full it's like being in a mighty natural cathedral, you look about and upwards with wonder. A special place.
