TQ1974 : Oaks and elders, near Holly Lodge paddock

Oaks and elders, near Holly Lodge paddock
Just east of Holly Lodge paddock, at the north-west edge of Barn Wood. Elders are not a common species in the unenclosed areas of the Park - saplings are too easily destroyed by browsing deer. If my memory is correct, the elders seen here grew up within the protection of the paddock, at a time when that extended further eastward.
Richmond Park is a National Nature Reserve.
