I had a childhood friend whose family came from near there! Know any Bausfields?Where I live now is mainly town, but on the outskirts there are plenty of woodlands and forests,
this is one of my fav places to go; click link - Hainault Forest
I love the lake and there is an animal section, like a mini zoo, which includes, peacocks and many other birds, Horses, large and small, Goats, Lamas/Alpacas, Sheep, pigs, etc
