Britannia Park
Britannia Park (Hebrew: Park Britannia, פארק בריטניה) is a forest and recreation area in Israel, in the Judean lowland.
The forest was planted by the Jewish National Fund starting in the 1950s, and with the financial aid of British Jews, after whom the park was named. It covers the parts of the remains of three Palestinian villages which were depopulated in the 1948 Palestine War: Deir al-Dubban, 'Ajjur and Kudna.[1]
