Rye Park Wood, Near Lynton, Devon

Land size
5 acres

Description

Set about 300 metres above sea level within the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere, Rye Park Wood is a fast establishing woodland which is plentiful in wildlife and is ideal for peaceful enjoyment as a quiet retreat or as a place to come with family and friends to explore this picturesque part of Devon.

There is good access from the A399 and once at the woodland there is a good sized open meadow area at the south. Rye Park Wood is a local place name and Rye or 'ree' is an old term for a watercourse, of which there is one along part of the southern boundary.

Rye Park Wood is at the stage where some small scale management would be beneficial and a thinning of the trees could eventually lead to a small income for additional improvements such as bird & bat boxes.
