Description
Riven Copse is a splendid mature broadleaved woodland with a high canopy dominated by magnificent oak and beech trees. Set amongst arable land this small parcel of amenity woodland has great offerings. Access is along a hard surfaced track that leads to the boundary, from here an unsurfaced track runs the full length of the wood, emerging at 2 points on the council road, now overgrown with thorn. The unsurfaced track is lined with an avenue of mature trees and amongst them are birch, ash and sycamore. There is a lower canopy of hazel and thorn intertwined with the lovely sweet smelling honeysuckle. At one end, there is a shallow pond that attracts ducks, which are frequently seen paddling.
The wood is flat with a distinctive oak and hazel habitat and a fairly uncluttered floor. The wood is fertile and dry with significant drainage ditches flanking the boundaries. There are lovely open views across fields to the south and west towards the delightful village of Withybrook.
Riven Copse is a very private wood in a rural location and is ideally located with superb access to Nuneaton, Coventry and Rugby. It offers an ideal retreat for those seeking outdoor activity whether it be a stroll round the wood, conservation work, crafts or useful woodland management producing a sustainable source of firewood.
If It Were Mine
I would thin out some of the poorer trees and replant with a view to them one day replacing some of the mature trees. A woodland shelter would be useful and provide somewhere to have a cuppa and enjoy the superb surroundings.
Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
