In Search of… Winnie-the-Pooh and Friends
If, like me, you have ever longed to adventure through 100 Aker Wood with Winnie the Pooh and his friends then there are two places to consider visiting – Aldenham Country Park and Ashdown Forest.
Aldenham CP is home to 100 Aker Wood, including Winnie-the-Pooh’s house, Wol’s tree and a heffalump trap.
The atmospheric Ashdown Forest inspired A.A. Milne to write about the adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh, Christopher Robin and friends.
