Hatfield Forest

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hatfield Forest in Essex, England lies between the parishes of Little Hallingbury and Takeley, and covers 1,049 acres of woodland, grassland with trees, lake and marsh. It is approximately 40 minutes north east of London by car, just off Junction 8 of the M11 motorway. Bishop's Stortford and Stansted Airport are nearby.

Hatfield is the only remaining intact Royal Hunting Forest from the time of the Norman kings, and is now maintained by the National Trust. It is open to the public. (http://www.anvil.clara.net/hatfield.htm)
