Fiddlecott Wood, Chulmleigh, Devon
- Land size
- 3.25 acres
Description
Set within the picturesque landscapes of rural mid Devon, Fiddlecott Wood sits near the top of a small valley that rises from the Little Dart River. Part of a larger woodland that is known as Chawleigh Barton Wood or historically Leigh Wood, the whole of Fiddlecott Wood is listed on the as Ancient Replanted Woodland on the Government's MAGIC website which records information about the natural environment and is shown as woodland on the 1885-1900 Ordinance Survey maps.
Ancient Replanted Woodlands are sites which have been woodland since at least 1600 AD but at some point, usually after a large War, have been felled for the timber resource and replanted, often with non native conifer trees but in this instance has been replanted as an oak woodland.
The topography of the woodland gently slopes north from around 300 metres to 400 metres above sea level.
There is the added attraction of a shared area of riverbank along the Little Dart river for recreation enjoyment as well as single bank fishing rights. It is understood that salmon and brown trout were previously present. This area is within a seperate part of the larger area of woodland.
The woodland benefits from being within walking distance of the village of Chawleigh which has two pubs and a village shop.
