Spain Wood, near Leeds and Wetherby, West Yorkshire
- Land size
- 4.75 acres
Description
Set in the north-eastern corner of West Woods Plantation, Bramham, Spain Wood is a very interesting and attractive varied woodland with a lovely mix of old oak trees, hazel and Scots pine in the eastern half and beech, holly, sycamore and larch in the western half.
A very diverse woodland with trees of different ages, lots of ground flora ‘indicator’ plants, including bluebells, mosses and native ferns, that give clues that this site has been wooded for a very long time. It is classed as Ancient Replanted Woodland and Priority Habitat Inventory - Deciduous Woodland (England).
A path leads off from the ride-stop, at the western boundary of the wood, through the beech and larch filled section: lots of holly bushes give excellent and immediate privacy and a rustic bench is situated in a glade along this path. Leading further through this area are numerous deer trails to follow, eventually reaching an oak and hazel section with the odd birch, some tall Scots pines and the odd larch tree. The oaks are one of the loveliest features of the wood, some quite ‘pippy’ and burled with epicormic growth and a really large spreading ‘mother oak’ tree. Oak is often referred to as the cornerstone of a woodland due to the sheer number of other species of flora and fauna that it is associated with.
A big fallen beech tree could be treated as fantastic deadwood habitat or a playful feature, depending on the owner’s perspective. Near the western edge, where the wood meets farmland, a wide grassy ride runs south west to north east and a ditch crosses the route, connecting with a low lying seasonally wet area within the woodland – another excellent draw for wildlife.
The wood has tracks around three sides and a second entrance, with a ditch crossing, is located in the south eastern corner.
