Brilley Wood, Hay-on-Wye, Herefordshire
- Land size
- 5.5 acres
Description
Delightful broadleaf woodland in very quiet, peaceful surroundings, flanked on one side by the Millhalf Brook and Brilley Green Dingle Nature reserve and by rolling green fields and woodland on the remaining sides. Brilley Wood is looking for someone to continue the careful management which has resulted in its present wonderful biodiverse shape and inhabitants, namely rare creatures like our native Dormouse, newts and crested newts, many species of birds, some quite unusual such as the pied flycatcher, and great variety of ground flora including many ancient woodland indicators such as oxalis or wood sorrel, woodland anemones, and carpets of native bluebells in the spring.
There is a small area of level ground in the southern sector of the woodland, with a forest path running along ten metres or so inside, roughly parallel with the southern boundary. There is a small glade here providing space for a working area and possibly a shelter for cups of tea and storage for tools. A short distance northward from here, the ground falls away fairly steeply down towards the brook which runs along the bottom of the valley. Mature oak, chestnut and beech populate this area, with shrub sized holly and hazel between, some of which has been coppiced, and an open forest floor with many ferns and various wildflowers throughout the year. A narrow footpath descends diagonally to the bottom of the slope in the north eastern corner of the woodland, bringing you to the southern bank of Millhalf Brook.
The brook which forms the northern boundary of the larger woodland Kiln Ground Wood, drops down several shallow falls on its journey eastwards, banked by big stone slabs in places which create wide, shallow pools where the white clawed crayfish (or Austropotamobius pallipes, to give it its proper name!) have happily found suitable habitat; quite a rarity. There are many wildflowers down here in the spring and it is an idyllic corner of the woodland to sit and enjoy nature in its fine, quiet form.
