The wilds

Woods, heath, fens and crags beyond North Grove, with Barrow Tower, hidden places and ponds of their own.

Beyond North Grove lie the Wildwood, the glades and pinewoods, the downs, the fens, the meadows and the Rockfall under the crags. Old Juniper keeps watch from Barrow Tower on Barrow Hill, and Fennel the naturalist camps in the Wildwood.
