Field of buttercups in Weald Country Park

Uploader's Comments

At nearly 500 acres, Weald Country Park is the largest of the Essex County Council Country Parks. Parkland has been established here for more than 700 years. In the Middle Ages Weald Country Park was part of a hunting ground, used by medieval monarchs and also by the abbots of Waltham. The lakes, the tree-lined avenues, and large parkland trees are the result of the landscaping carried out in the 18th century.
