What is the importance of Hazell's Wood in the novel, Danny the Champion of the World?

Hazell Wood, also called Hazell's Wood, is a patch of woodland on the property of Mr. Hazell, and is located six-and-a-half miles away from Danny’s father’s filling and repair station. Hazell Wood is where Mr. Hazell has three gamekeepers, led by Mr. Rabbetts, to end to and watch over flocks of pheasants. These pheasants are raised specifically each year to be killed purely for sport rather than for eating. Because of Mr. Hazell’s cruelty, and the way he handles his pheasants, Hazell’s Wood is a favorite spot for local poaching, especially for Danny’s father.
