Ruby Wood, Near Holsworthy, Devon
- Land size
- 2.33 acres
Description
Once forming part of the Braddon Estate with a 17th Century farmhouse, Ruby Wood is found at the south eastern edge of the old estate. The woodlands here, including Ruby Wood were planted in the early 2000's as part of a shift to using coppiced timber originally to power a woodchip boiler system. The boiler system is no longer in use so the trees have been able to grow into an attractive broadleaved woodland.
A good sized introduction to woodland ownership and management, Ruby Wood can be enjoyed for the wildlife and peaceful location as well as small scale forestry.
This woodland and the surround woodlands have been identified by the Local Authority as an important habitat feature within the landscape and as such have been given a further recognised level of protection with an Article 4 designation. This allows enjoyment and management of the woodland but will require planning permission for anything that usually falls under permitted development.
