Moon Copse, Near Wetherby & Leeds, West Yorkshire
- Land size
- 6.25 acres
Description
Set close to the northern edge of West Woods Plantation, Bramham, Moon Copse is a very interesting and diverse broadleaved woodland with trees of mixed ages and lots of ground flora including ‘indicator’ plants, that give clues that this site has been wooded for a long time. It is classed as Ancient Replanted Woodland. It is a lovely, secluded woodland, with a peaceful and private feel.
Up on the limestone ridge that sits above the Wharfe valley, Moon Copse slopes very gently to the north. Good stone tracks lead to the ride-stop entrance at the north-western corner of the wood, a wide grassy track runs the length of the western edge of the wood, bordered by an old hedgerow with farmland beyond. A ditch (the centre of which is presumed to be the true boundary line) is flanked by characterful coppiced hedgerow trees such as hawthorn, hazel and ash. A larger oak tree can also be found along this edge with a rustic bench at its foot.
A path leads into the wood, close to the bench, with a circular route that passes coppiced hazel, an impressive sweet-chestnut tree, holly, sycamore, oak, and ash, whilst at ground level there are some beautiful woodland grasses, a carpet of bluebells, dogs' mercury, wild garlic, native ferns, wood anemone, violets and fruiting plants such as wild strawberries, wild raspberry and blackberry.
The path returns to the ride-stop parking spot.
There are a few ash trees which are in decline from ash die-back. They are not particularly large and could potentially be harvested as a home firewood resource, ash makes brilliant firewood or could left as valuable standing deadwood habitat. Making the most of any additional sunshine, sweetly scented honeysuckle stems arch and scramble higher for maximum light in the canopy of the shrub layer.
