''Swinley Park'' once surrounded ''Swinley Lodge'' where the King kept the Royal Staghounds in [[Georgian era|Georgian times]]. It was at the centre of ''Swinley Walke'', one of the sub-divisions of Windsor Forest. | |||
In the 18th century [[Daniel Defoe]] - writing in the fashion of the time of regarding uncultivated land as wild and forbidding - described Bagshot Heath as {{quote|"a vast tract of land [...] which is not only poor, but even quite steril {{sic}}, given up to barrenness, horrid and frightful to look on [...] much of it is a sandy desert [...] This sand indeed is checked by the heath, or heather, which grows in it [...] but the ground is otherwise so poor and barren that the product of it feeds no creatures, but some very small sheep, who feed chiefly on the said heather [...] nor are there any villages, worth mentioning, and but few houses or people for many miles far and wide".<ref>{{cite book |title=The Making of the English Landscape |author=W.

In May 2011 forest fires broke out throughout the forest; the cause is believed to be a mixture of the unseasonably dry conditions and arson. Although the fires were stated at the time by the [[Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service]] to have been the most extensive fires ever tackled by the service, the extent of the damage to the forest was relatively limited. {{citation needed|date=July 2012}} | |||
