                "Sleepy Hollow - Burnham Beeches" by David Aldus U.A

 

Painted in Buckinghamshire, England. Nestled almost on the southern Buckinghamshire/northern Berkshire border, the village of Burnham is neighbour to historic Burnham Beeches, described as one of the finest woodland tracts anywhere in Britain. The remnants of a vast forest that once covered almost the entire county of Buckinghamshire, it is owned and managed by the Corporation of London who, in 1880, bought the woodland to save it from prospective developers. Bounded by Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough, Burnham and Burnham Beeches are within the area around London now protected from further encroachment by Green Belt legislation. The village itself is mentioned in the Domesday Book, although there has more than likely been a settlement on the site since well before the Romans came.

 

At 540 acres, the interior of the Beeches offers many easy walks as well as chances for some sly comparisons to the locations of many comparatively recent movies. Burnham Beeches is in fact a favorite location shoot, having stood in for Sherwood Forest in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, an Irish woodland in The Crying Game, ancient generic England in First Knight and Ivanhoe, and even a more tropical setting in A Town Like Alice. Off to the left of Park Lane lies Dorney Wood, a favorite haunt of footpads during the reign of Henry VIII. The entire area around Burnham was inundated with highwaymen during the Middle Ages, so much so that it was said that the Vicar of nearby Hurley got danger money for riding through the region. Further along on the right is a convenient parking area for those interested in viewing Hardicanute's Moat, a diamond-shaped earthwork of unknown origin.
