Geocache Description:


The co-ords will take you to a lovely wooded area which is part of the Green Chain Walk, this is part of a linked system of open spaces between the River Thames and Crystal Palace Park in London. This area is Marvel Wood/ Elmstead Woods

The name is recorded in 1320 as Elmsted and means "place where elm trees grow". The name was shared with Elmstead Place Mansion and the woodland of Elmstead Wood. The character of Elmstead Woods is largely one of an oak 'forest' although there is an occasional beech tree to be found plus at least one pocket of sweet chestnuts. One particular oak tree must be at least 200 years old but the majority are probably of the order of 100 years or thereabouts
