Aller Wood, Winkleigh, Devon

- 3.75 acres
Description
Aller Wood is an established broadleaved woodland situated along a quiet country lane in the heart of Devon. According to the Government’s MAGIC habitat database, Aller Wood is classified as Ancient Woodland. This designation means that the land has been continuously wooded since at least AD 1600. Such long-established woodland soils create ideal conditions for a rich ground flora, including ferns, while the woodland itself comprises a good mix of native broadleaved species. Ancient woodland is thought to make up less than 3% of England’s woodland and is considered a precious habitat.
There is good access to the woodland via a track, with parking available on a stone-surfaced area. Aller Wood also benefits from the use of a small communal area beside a beautiful watercourse.
The name ‘Aller’ is derived from the Old English word ‘alor’, meaning alder tree.
A gem of a woodland, Aller Wood offers an escape from the busy pace of modern life and a rare opportunity to own part of our ancient natural heritage. The woodland is well suited to amenity, recreation, conservation and small-scale woodland management.
