Today we visited Gobions Wood in Hertfordshire for the first time, which we discovered from a useful list of local nature reserves on Herts Wildlife Trust website.
The first section of our walk took us past beautiful meadows, where moths and butterflies fluttered around us as we walked.
We then reached the entrance to the wood…
Honestly, I have never felt quite so overwhelmed (and almost intimidated!) walking into a wood. I literally got tingles down my spine and a surge of excitement in my tummy.
Two huge ancient trees guard either side of the path as you enter, towering above everything, watching over the rest of the woodland…
It looks like something out of a film; like walking into a Lord Of The Rings set or somewhere…
I love the colours and the way the lower leaves create a whispy appearance, almost motioning to the path…
Squiggle found this and asked me to take a photo…
She loved exploring…
It is a magical, enchanting place to explore and we hope to return soon!
