I live in a little settlement in the woods. Most of our woods are oak but there are beech groves and some young pines. The houses nearby are all family dwellings. Beyond, to the west, there aren't many houses for quite a ways, and behind us to the east there are more woods still.
There are paths through the woods, crisscrossing, and a little confusing if you don''t know your way around or have a ranger to lead you. And in the woods are old stone ruins of houses and farms from a hundred years gone by, or more. Old stone walls ramble here and there. The rivers are brown from the oak tannin.
Chetwood, perhaps.
