Description

Frater Wood is a highly desirable lowland beech woodland set within a larger forest, amongst the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside. The area has been woodland for hundreds of years and today is still one of the most wooded parts of England with over one fifth covered by trees.

Some 35 years ago parts of the wood were felled and replanted with groups of conifer. More recently, thinning of these now mature trees under a Forestry Commission thinning licence, has opened up the woodland to allow self-seeding trees to germinate.

Frater Wood is dominated by stunning mature beech trees with some lovely specimens of oak in the mixture. There are also small scattered groups of conifer trees in the wood composed of pine and larch.

Inside the wood is a developed understorey of young trees, mostly beech, but also holly, oak and birch, providing a secluded feel to this otherwise open woodland.  There is a rich ground flora including grasses, fungi, ferns, wood anemones, and blue bells.

Walking amongst the splendid beech trees provides a real sense of grandeur and you will soon find discreet routes through them to explore. Frater Wood is perfect for those looking to own a beautiful piece of amenity woodland with scope for active management which will enhance the ecology of this beautiful place whilst producing quantities of firewood for the home.

If It Were Mine

Frater Wood has some impressive trees and excellent regeneration but a little help from a keen woodsman would allow emerging trees to reach their potential and produce some firewood or timber for crafts.

As a place of recreation, it’s a great place for kids to build dens and perhaps camp out with a small fire and warm some marshmallows.
