Directions and Access

Description
The property is a compact mature woodland with two distinct characteristics. The first is an area of mature commercial conifers comprising Douglas fir Norway spruce and Sitka spruce. Located at the lower, western end of the property, this has benefitted from a previous thinning and in the coming years will be ready for another. The second area is located to the east and rises up to the hard standing at the A4081. It comprises mature oak and assorted mixed broadleaves including hazel and rowan. Where the woodland canopy has been opened up, oak, Douglas fir and a minor component of western hemlock are regenerating through the ground flora. The mature oak is of superior provenance with acorns originating from the prestigious Garnons Estate in Herefordshire. This crop has been selectively thinned approximately 10 years ago and combined with a thinning of the conifers, will provide any new owner with timber income. Some of the oak stems are of great value and will yield products including veneer, planking, small beam and fencing. A track leads from the far western end to the hardstanding as shown as point A1 on the sale plan.
The woodland is predominantly classed as ancient woodland and plantation on an ancient woodland site (where conifers are currently growing).
Boundaries
