Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Pavis Wood This is a large ancient woodland with a wide variety of plants. It is dominated by beech, oak and ash. Several footpaths cross the site. Flowers to look out for include Hairy Wood-rush, Pignut, Yellow Pimpernel, Bluebell, Wood Mellick and Spurge Laurel. The wood, which contains the Ridgeway and Chiltern Way trails, is in Buckinghamshire http://www.aylesbury.gov.uk/leisure-culture/countryside/places-to-visit/pavis-wood/.
There is a potential confusion because the Pavis Wood is on the west side of the boundary bridleway between Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, with Dog Wood being on the Hertfordshire side. A spot height on OS Maps on the edge of the wood happens to be on the Hertfordshire side of the boundary and is the highest point in Hertfordshire at 244 metres above sea level. However the summit area is so flat that the exact location of the spot height which forms the peak must have been somewhat arbitrary. Because it is the Hertfordshire peak, Pavis Wood is listed as a hill in Hertfordshire on Wikipedia Pavis_Wood and sites such as Peakbagger http://www.peakbagger.com/ Many web sites claim that the wood itself is in Hertfordshire and that the Buckinghamshire border is three miles away which is clearly nonsense. I suspect that 3 miles is misreading of 3m meaning 3 metres. |
