Harold Court Woods

Stretches of woodland, surrounded by grassland, all rising to 43 metres (150 foot) to our charming sculpted wooden seat offering a comfortable and stylish view west across London. Over 40,000 trees have been planted, some adding to the surrounding belts of mature trees and a now unusual ‘Apostle’s Circle’ – these were traditionally planted to represent Christ and his Apostles and here ten horse chestnuts ring a central tree. Meadow areas have been regularly mown and the pond transformed – all to provide a perfect haven for people and wildlife alike. Easily accessed from under the mainline rail bridge on Harold Court Road, Harold Court Woods is the perfect green space for the residents of Harold Wood and Harold Hill. The walking’s easy, the pace is relaxed and there’s often someone about to stop and chat to – it’s a really friendly community green space.
