The closest appears to be the S6 bus to Faringdon, stopping at Parklands Manor, Bessels Leigh. There are other ones. Then it is probably under a 1/2 hour walk from there. The wood I took pictures from wasn’t in the nature reserve bit. It was just a wood! The whole area is full of interesting nooks and crannies: Hitchcopse Pit one of them (old sand quarry). See map above; the lines in colour are all public foot paths.
The S6. Got it. Thanks, I’ll give it a go. Just wandering about in free form wooded areas is worth doing camera or no camera I think. But camera it’ll be. Love the prospect of nooks and crannies! It’s nice to know Bruno’s out there ferreting out photos deep in the wilds…

Lovely, Bruno. Do you happen to know whether there’s a bus that gets near to the wood/nature reserve?
