Whitton Wood, Near Catterick, North Yorkshire
- Land size
- 2.33 acres
Description
Whitton Wood is an attractive small woodland, with mature deciduous trees and a high canopy, nestled in a quiet corner of North Yorkshire, near Kiplin Castle. Some of the land is gently sloping with most of the northern sections being quite level.
The wood has an attractive mixture of tree species, such as oak, beech, sycamore, ash, alder, wych elm, hawthorn and hazel as well as the odd Scots pine and larch tree. At the ground layer, it is quite open and clear with a few holllies, a patch of rhododendron, some wild currant, native ferns and lots of dog’s mercury. Look out for primroses and violets in the spring too.
Some of the larger and more characterful trees are oaks and there’s a particularly lovely specimen in the north-western corner of the wood, where there are views over farmland. Along the edges of the wood, there are remnants of old hedgerows.
A rustic bench is situated a short distance from the ride-stop entrance and from here there’s a good view through the wood. There’s lots of natural fallen deadwood around which makes great habitat for biodiversity and the occasional evergreen bush and ivy on some of the tree trunks provide cover and food for resident wildlife.
