Description

Foxhound Copse is comprised primarily of mid rotation sweet chestnut coppice. There are many other broadleaved trees scattered through this Ancient Woodland including ash, beech, birch and hornbeam.

The woodland would be an ideal source of sustainable firewood for a household with a woodburning stove. A gentle thinning of the coppice stems would allow the remaining trees to grow on into a high canopy woodland.

Topographically the site slopes very gently down to the north and is largely well drained silty loam. These fertile soils enable good growth rates, demonstrated by the trees found here. The region is known habitat for the tree sparrow, chaffinch, nuthatch, jay and woodland mammals such as deer, foxes and badgers.

The wood is well served by a hard forest road up to, and then along the northern boundary.

Foxhound Copse is surrounded by other Ancient Woodland on all sides, and despite the ease of access from the A229, it is a very quiet and secluded retreat.

If It Were Mine

I would carry out some light thinning and general maintenance to start, relishing the tranquil atmosphere and natural surroundings. A well-positioned bench to perhaps enjoy a family picnic is a must!!
