Grim's Ditch in High Scrubs Wood

Grim's Ditch runs (with breaks) for many miles along this part of the Chilterns, and in many places, such as here, only survives as a pronounced hedge bank and ditch. It is believed to be a late Bronze age boundary marker. Grim is an old name for the devil. Note the young holly bushes growing in the ditch bottom.
