Beschrijving

From the centre of the village of Oakford footpaths lead across farmland to woodland on the valley bottom, through which runs the Iron Mill Stream (a tributary of the River Exe). At it's Eastern end is Iron Mill Bridge. A footpath runs alongside the South side of the stream to a Ford with Footbridge at it's Western end. The mixed woodland (mostly deciduous) turns to more coniferous trees toward it's Western end where Goudhaan are a distinct possibility. In Summer Tjiftjaf, Fitis, Fluiter, Gekraagde Roodstaart and Bonte Vliegenvanger are regularly seen, also common are IJsvogel and Waterspreeuw.
