Descrição

At 150 hectares, High Woods Country Park in Colchester derives from the once much larger medieval royal hunting forest of Kingswood. The park is a designated Local Wildlife Site (LWS). Nice for peaceful early morning walking and birding. Rouxinol-comum in spring, woodpeckers, Trepadeira-azul and Trepadeira-do-bosque. Warblers in the scrub areas.
