On the edges of Bow Brickhill are the Bow Brickhill Woods. Parts of
the area were wooded in 1086 and there have probably been some
trees here throughout the last 10,000 years. Iron Age people built
a hill fort at least 2,000 years ago and since then people have
changed the landscape over and over again, by creating arable land
from forest, then heathland from arable, then forest from heath and
so on. The woods themselves change in nature from place to place on
the walk and will continue to do so as areas are harvested and
replanted.
