The Path On Grym's Dyke

The Path On Grym's Dyke

The late eveing sun gave some wonderful light in the wild woods of Harrow Weald. The path runs along Grym’s Dyke. The dyke or ditch is believed to be one of the few remaining Anglo-Saxon trenches in England, where Norse tribes were converted to Christianity in the 8th and 9th centuries.
Its name, the grim, is derived from the word ‘hooded’, a description of the dark appearance of the Norse god, Woden. Woden was the carrier-off of the dead and the god for whom Wednesday was named after.

    If you go down in the woods today – you had better take a torch! Very dark and mysterious with expertly applied “finishing touches” The narrative, too, adds so much to the scene. A wonderful combination old buddy. Peter

    The magical lighting gives this place a fantasy look. I rather expect to see a wood nymph or fairy to pop out from the trees. Lovely!

    I know what you mean about getting away from the H & B:-) I do the same thing. We’ve got Dulwich woods, Dulwich Park, Norwood Park and not forgetting the great Richmond Park with the amazing deer. It’s soooo good to have these little havens of glory. Don.
