Downy Copse, Pickering, North Yorkshre
- Land size
- 2.25 acres
Description
Downy Copse is small and manageable area of mainly broadleaved woodland located within the attractive scenery of the North York Moors National Park. Over level ground with regular undulations, the tree cover consists mainly of birch and rowan with some pockets of planted oak which have established well, along with willow, alder and holly. There are also few deciduous larch trees.
Approximately 25 years ago lots of conifers were felled and natural regeneration allowed the wood to return to a native broadleaved woodland. This native vegetation is great for wildlife, and it will also allow a new owner the opportunity to shape the future of the woodland with a little management, if desired.
A reasonable number of larger birch and larch trees can be found and these can provide timber for domestic use as firewood or materials for woodland crafts. At ground level, wildflowers can be found such as foxgloves and wood sorrel as well as native ferns and bilberry. Nettles and gorse are great food plants for pollinating insects.
There are clearings within the woodland which, with a little grading, offer good opportunities for family camping and there is space for parking a vehicle or two.
