Description
Halfpipe Wood lies on level ground near the centre of a private gated forest midway between the attractive villages of Sprotbrough and Cadeby. The A1(M) and M18 motorways are close by and Doncaster is just 15 minutes to the east, yet the wood enjoys a high degree of tranquillity.
Halfpipe combines the amenity of mature canopy stems with the interest of managing a young productive crop. The woodland is peppered with mature beech and oak of impressive stature but there is sufficient light between these crowns to enable planted rows of cherry and oak to flourish beneath, and this pole-stage crop is showing a lot of promise.
There is little in the way of a shrub layer because of the active maintenance of the younger trees but in season the wood promises a succession of seasonal colour with an early white flush of wood sorrel followed by the ubiquitous bluebell. It is pretty!
Access to Halfpipe Wood is provided by an excellent car-accessible track that has been recently upgraded. Woodland management should be easy thanks to the level site and the good internal forest infrastructure with hard tracks along the south and east sides. There is a parking spur on the south side to enable in-wood parking.
Halfpipe is surrounded by a variety of other woodland types amidst large arable fields and thus despite its modest size it offers a high degree of privacy. And being part of a larger diverse woodland means it is host to a wide variety of wildlife from badgers and foxes to buzzards and songbirds.
If It Were Mine
I’d confine myself to managing the young cherry and oak at this stage – I’d cut out the small percentage of stems that are tight under the shade of mature beech and also remove the rest of the tubes to prevent strangulation. The cherry is ready for a light thin and some high pruning would be beneficial.

Directions & Access
Sprotbrough is about 2 miles west of Doncaster just west of the A1(M). The nearest exit is junction 36.

The entrance to the wood is on your right, opposite the turning to Nursery Lane.
Please park by the timber railing on the left side, leaving the entrance clear as vehicles need to access the property at all times.
Continue on foot over the metal gate marked with a Red Rock Forestry sign (A) into the wood. Keep straight on for 375m then fork right at a conspicuous yew tree (B). Continue up the hill for about 300m until the first hard track to the right (C). Halfpipe Wood is on your right after this point.
