Scratchwood

update 1/7/2009: The council in thier wisdom have cut down ALL of the evergreen rhodadendrum bushes. There used to be 4 large dens at the top end of the park and they have been oblitereted to ground zero. There is only two left deep in the woods toward the golf green. Also, the entrance (where you drive in) has been well cut back. previous comment: Open space with car park and woods It's very near to houses so boys can walk there. But not so near that people will disturb you. Lots of locals drop by in cars but also attracts many passing through. Outdoor action is the best word.

All day and night.
Crowd
All ages young and old up for all sorts of fun.

Safety

None really - Sometimes chaps from golf club about but nothing serious, just interfering busybodies. They are easy to spot. (Ed. Yes, look for plaid slacks.)Great place in the summer, and often even better in the winter. Use at own risk, haven't seen police about but be careful as always.
