Map / Terrain

Whitehall Park slopes uphill from NE to SW. It is very narrow at its lowest elevation and wider at the top. The park is mapped at 1:3000 on A4. The area is not typical parkland, with more than 2/3 of the area being woodland. There are many water, landform and man-made features. A very interesting area.
