Hearson Wood, near Barnstaple, Devon
- Land size
- 3 acres
Description
Located within the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere—an area celebrated for its rich natural and cultural heritage—Hearson Wood sits within a stunning and diverse landscape at the heart of South West England. The woodland offers an inviting retreat as well as an ideal base from which to explore the wider area.
This young, fast-establishing woodland is planted predominantly with larch (Larix decidua) and features a historic tree-lined hedge bank that adds character and ecological value.
A well-constructed stoned track ensures year-round access, while a network of internal paths allows you to explore the wood on foot or manage timber extraction with smaller vehicles or horses.
Hearson Wood presents an excellent opportunity for a buyer seeking to manage a productive woodland, with potential to increase biodiversity through future thinning of larch and the replanting of native broadleaved species.
