Sydham Wood, Near Eggesford, Devon
- Land size
- 3.33 acres
Description
Sydham Wood forms part of what was once known as Chawleigh Barton Plantation. Formerly conifer woodland, the trees were felled, replanted and then left to regenerate naturally with broadleaved species. These trees are establishing rapidly and already give Sydham Wood a true woodland character.
The woodland enjoys tranquil surroundings, with a meadow to the north and an area of ancient woodland to the south. The quaint village of Chawleigh is within easy walking distance, and there are numerous country lanes nearby that can be explored on foot or by bicycle.
A local place name gave Sydham Wood its name, which is thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon words sid, meaning "wide" or "extensive", and ham, meaning "enclosure" or "settlement".
A small, overgrown stream runs along the western boundary and could be cleared to create a more attractive feature. The woodland owner can also enjoy access to a shared area of nearby riverbank, which includes fishing rights.
