Description

Rush Wood is a delightful broadleaved woodland that has a very natural quality. It sits in a slightly elevated position facing east, but is quite flat and in a quiet rural location. The wood has a light and open feel, populated with large mature trees and a smaller group of dense regenerating trees at the bottom.

The trees in Rush Wood are mostly oaks that have grown to display great character in their branches that extend to make the most of the available light. Also in the wood are alder, sycamore and birch, offering a wonderfully diverse ecology. There are dense patches of self-seeded trees, mostly birch and alder that give these areas a more secluded feel.  

There are wide variety of flora making up the shrub layer and some interesting water loving plants along the stream. At ground level, hard fern, dog-rose, honeysuckle, sedge and even some patches of bluebells are a few of the seasonal woodland blooms here.

From the top of the wood there is a gentle stream that flows in all but the driest of conditions, providing a delightful backdrop, a water supply for camping and a draw for wildlife.

Access to the wood from the council road is along a hard-surfaced track suitable for a two-wheel drive car. The track extends through the larger wood up to Rush Wood where there is a place to turn and park.

If It Were Mine

I would create a woodland path to an open area where I could set up a shelter or base to manage the wood from. I would also consider creating a rope swing on one of the old oaks and clear an area so I could camp out on summer nights.

Silviculturally I would look at felling a few poorer trees to provide some useful firewood and create a deadwood habitat.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
