Description
Herrywell Wood is a diverse broadleaved woodland which would be perfect for family conservation work and as a get-away from urban life. It is teeming with wildlife and part of a larger forest area with accessible bridleways and walks.
The majority of the wood was planted with hybrid poplar around 25 years ago and these fast-growing trees are now reaching a good mature height. Beneath this canopy, the dominant species are goat willow and birch, many of which were coppiced when the poplar was planted.
Looking a little more closely though, you may start to spot many other native species mixed in, remnants of the old forest no doubt; young oak, ash, sycamore, field maple, wych elm, crab apple, elder, hawthorn and blackthorn… the new owner may discover more.
The poplars were set out in rows running north-south and the resident wildlife has kept routes open, running primarily in this direction, but these are interconnected with deer paths that weave connected routes through. Honeysuckle, wild rose and bramble, as well as patches of wild privet, can be found throughout the wood, along with soft mosses, tough grasses and the odd primrose.
The western boundary, where the ride-stop is located (space to turn a vehicle), is formed alongside a grassy ride. Within the wood close to this edge are several large oak trees. The grass track continues along the southern boundary and about half-way along, a high-seat, from a former shoot, makes a great elevated hide for wildlife watching.
A small beck, flanked with elder, blackthorn and bramble forms the eastern boundary. This was probably a more open ride but has begun to get overgrown and is reverting gently to forest.
A public bridlepath passes along the outside of the wood along its northern edge and the verges of this have been recently managed by the local Wildlife Trust in order to benefit the wealth of butterfly life that can be found here in the wood.
