Description

Low Mill Wood is all about location. Positioned on the southeast bank of the magnificent River Lune, this woodland combines the draw of woodland activities with a waterside setting.

Set in an elevated position, Low Mill Wood lies between a council road and the water’s edge. The wood encompasses the banks of the river with a topography that is variable, having level areas to the north and south with steeper areas along the river.  Vehicular access is available from the road to the upper section of the wood but it has not been exercised for a few years.

The wood itself is well stocked with broadleaved trees of a range of ages and species - the most prominent trees you will find are mature beech, mature oak and sycamore. The lower canopy comprises ash, birch, beech and oak tree saplings. This characterful wood hosts plenty of places to explore, with discreet nooks hidden by large rhododendron, providing wonderful blooms and a mystical sense of an Asian forest. At the herb level, ferns and mosses are in abundance.

Along the east edge of the wood the River Lune is a beautiful stretch of water, with a pebble shore exposed when the river is low, perfect for stone-skimming and a great place to watch the wildlife on the river. During our visit an otter and its cub were spotted coming ashore, a key indicator of a healthy river.

Low Mill Wood has a public footpath that passes the length of the wood which was re-routed some time ago away from the shore thus providing a safer path away from the waters’ edge.

If It Were Mine

I would clear the existing right of way to enable vehicular access from the council road. I would consider thinning some of the sycamore for firewood and encourage some pioneer tree species as cover for the longer lived oak and beech. I would also look to install a deck or shelter to sit and enjoy the view of this dramatic river setting.
