Go for a walk in Ken Wood

Also known as South Wood, Ken Wood forms the southeastern portion of the Kenwood Estate, the grounds of Kenwood House, and is a pleasant spot for a walk at any time of the year, though with the windy days we've been having recently it is perhaps best approached with caution.


The wood still contains several original features from its association with Kenwood House, including a Duelling Ground, an Ice House, and a plaque commemorating the Great Storm (pictured), which swept through one night in 1987, felling 54 mature trees.
