Elrick Wood, near Newmachar, Aberdeen
- Land size
- 4.5 acres
Description
: Elrick Wood is a delightful mixed spruce, broadleaf and open woodland planted in 1999. The larger spruce area sits on slightly higher ground to the centre and north of the wood. To the south a wide strip of young broadleaves stretches along a small dry valley. The spruce has established well as have the birch, rowan, oak, cherry, ash, and beech. A sizeable triangular area of open ground in the northeast corner could suit further tree planting.
The evergreen conifer provides privacy and winter shelter in contrast to the deciduous broadleaved trees: the spruce conifers are in a major growth phase and each year will see a dramatic change in the woodland. Buttercups, clover, rosebay willowherb and other wild flowers seasonally adorn the rides and open grassy areas to the north, south and east. The land is generally well drained with a warm gentle south-facing gradient, providing distant views across the surrounding arable/grazing fields from the east.
As the trees grow and mature it's likely that red squirrels will move in, see Red Squirrels at Lairshill with potential for joining in with the project.
A secluded clearing and parking area on the southern edge of the conifers and overlooking the broadleaf valley is ideal for enjoying time off and occasional private camping. It is possible to amble through the broadleaves and around the perimeter of the wood via mowed rides and brashed conifer paths and further paths could easily be extended through the conifers.
Internal vehicle access is provided by the hard grassy ride from the southern access gate which winds its way through the broadleaves towards the central clearing/parking area.
The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands.
