Woods in Northbourne Park School (called Betteshanger School when I attended)
Laura Wood of The Thinking Housewife quotes from Anthony Esolen’s Ten Ways to Destroy the Imagination of Your Child [ISI Books, 2010].
Here is one part that stood out in my regard:
Sometimes they climbed trees.I never really climbed trees, but I did find one tree with a seat in its trunk that was low enough for me to climb into. I would sit there even in the cold of those English winters, put on my mittens and scarf, and read my books, which carried me to distant woods and forests, oceans and continents. I climbed metaphorical trees perched in my secure trunk.
