Looks lovely, and it's nice enough that I'm actually surprised you've never visited before.

What a lovely place.
The lack of a trunk saved that oak, it looks as though it's been pollarded.

Very nice there, I did that walk a few months ago so can proudly boast that I beat you to a London grid square :-)
I remember being quite surprised to come across those cows, especially as they wander around through scrub and overgrown areas.

The Master Oak can be found in the Woodland Trust’s Ancient Tree Inventory where it is listed as a Tree of National Special Interest.
There are two other veteran trees - a Horse Chestnut and a Hornbeam nearby.

I'm glad you liked it - it is a gem, though wellies are definitely needed after prolonged rain!
You would have noticeably crossed where the Stanburn rises and flows into the lake had you come down through Spring Meadow - just a step over a tiny indentation at the lowest point and currently completely dry.
Once it crosses Marsh Lane (where they've completely transformed the once-marshy wasteland at the crossroads) it becomes the Edgware Brook, before joining the Silk Stream under the Edgware Hospital Breast Cancer Screening Centre which you have previously blogged about.

(and probably more interesting than the remaining 11 unvisited grid squares)
