Well done Tadpoll. That didn't take long. What on earth is it all about?
Is it private land? I rarely seen people in the "compound" what is it all about?
Sorry now I'm asking more questions than giving answers.:)

I know all about it,but if I tell you I'll have to kill you.
The chap who built it is called Dai,he works at Bishops wood and takes people and schoolkids through the woods to show whats there.Areally nice chap,he's there quite often.On the opposite side of the valley is holts feild ,you have probably heard of this.

If you go further past the compound you'll come across anold church and the remains of places people used to live in sheds and old buildings.Best time to go is in winter when the foliage has died back.Some very interesting things to be seen.

Cheers Sapper. I've met Dai, he lives in Holtsfield.
I didn't know the Church by the spring was called anold! That's an odd name?
The first picture I posted of a round house is not the one Dai built just up from Caswell car park. If think people are living in the round house near Anold Church.
I've put some more pictures of the woods here.

this is the lower un-occupied round house Dai built.

Anold church??????????? near the occupied round house in the picture I posted for the competition.

A chess board someone had built into some boulders. Near the sheds people used to live in. There was even a full mixed set of chess pieces - the chavs rarely come this far up the woods.

enjoy:)

But, again, what is that occupied round house (and other odd buildings)?
Can anyone spend the night there or is it private,but I can't see how it could be "private" in the middle of council owned woods?
