Description

Dragons Hollow is designated as an Ancient Woodland site. Part of a larger woodland that has been under tree cover for at least the last four centuries, much of the trees are planted mature Japanese larch estimated to be around 50 years old. There are also many significantly older and excellent quality tall beech to be found, specifically towards the northwest.

Two hard tracks flank the north and east boundaries, both are suitable for a 2WD vehicle. The topography does feature some interesting dips and hollows. One option would be to thin the larch and to favour the oaks, chestnut and younger beech that scatter the lower/mid canopy. There are the remnants of an old management track within and along the wood’s southwestern edge, which could be useful in achieving this.

The sparse understorey is a mixture of hazel and birch with several impressive hollies, both male and female, bursting with berries in winter. Fungi such as fly agaric and ceps can be found in these rich forest soils established over many hundreds of years. Many birds and woodland wildlife can also be spotted.

With the historic town of Tring a few miles away and the centres of Hemel Hempstead and Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire 20 minutes by car, this woodland is excellently located for much of south and central England. Dragons Hollow is an ideal site for aspiring woods-people, ideal perhaps for a family picnic or nature spotting adventure and offering the opportunity to practice some small-scale silviculture.

If It Were Mine

I would lightly thin the larch, creating space and light for the broadleaf trees. Installing bird and bat boxes and enjoying the wild natural atmosphere would be a high priority.
