Weald
The Weald , also called the Weald of Kent, is the name given to an area in South East England situated between the parallel chalk escarpments of the North and the South Downs. It should be regarded as three separate parts: the sandstone "High Weald" in the centre; the clay "Low Weald" periphery; and the Greensand Ridge which stretches around the north and west of the Weald and includes the Weald's highest points. The Weald was once a vast forest covering this area. The name, Old English in origin, signifies woodland, which still applies today: scattered farms and villages betray the Weald‘s past, often in their names.

Weald
The Weald is een van de beboste plekken van Engeland. Het bos is ontstaan vanaf 600 jaar voor Christus en ligt in het district Sussex. De functie die het bos eeuwenlang had, was het leveren van hout aan de ijzerindustrie. Het bos werd daardoor vele malen bedreigd, maar omdat The Weald ook een geliefde plek voor jagers en aanzienlijke graven was, bleef het bos gespaard. Het bos is met de tijd zeer gecultiveerd, zo zijn er vele inheemse soorten te vinden vanuit Noord-Amerika en Japan. De oudste boom in The Weald is circa 250 jaar oud.

Weald
Weald é uma palavra inglesa que outrora designava uma densa floresta, especialmente a famosa grande floresta que se estendia pelos antigos condados de Sussex e Kent, Inglaterra, onde esta região de pequenos bosques é ainda denominada "the Weald". Hoje em dia, quando a maioria das florestas inglesas já foi posta abaixo, a palavra pode se referir ao campo aberto ou ao barro especial encontrado na Weald. Weald vêm do anglo-saxão weald = "floresta" vem da antiga raiz indo-européia significando "floresta" ou "sertão". Está intimamente relacionada com o alemão Wald, o neerlandês woud e o nórdico antigo völlr, todos os quais descendem da mesma raiz indo-européia.
