Description

Tanners Wood is a glorious Sussex woodland of excellent quality, presenting abundant opportunities for the aspiring woodland owner. It is designated as an Ancient Woodland and situated in the northern part of the South Downs National Park. The surrounding picturesque countryside is archetypal of this region, whilst the busy centres of Chichester and Guildford are some 35 minutes’ drive.

Conveniently, the woodland is bounded to three sides by either recently upgraded stone or soft access tracks. Tanners Wood has two access points providing excellent accessibility, particularly useful for extracting any timber. Many fine examples of substantial mature oak and ash, also beech and birch populate the upper canopy, beneath which are hazel, elder, holly and other shrubs.

The wildlife and flora of this Ancient Woodland, established over the last 400 years or longer is highly diverse. Species of bird include barn owls, which nest in a hollow tree, plus numerous warblers and tits. There is a significant population of deer that inhabit the wider woodland and the occasional badger or fox. Abundant bluebells and wood anemones can be seen in spring, there are also ferns such as the scaly male.  Good levels of deadwood help sustain the rich biodiversity of the wood.

This stunning woodland is an excellent environment to enjoy. A perfect place perhaps for a family camping holiday or for outdoor recreation, as well as offering excellent opportunities for amenity and small-scale silviculture.

If It Were Mine

I would continue to maintain this woodland keeping the rides and tracks clear, perhaps opening up some informal paths within. A gentle phase of thinning would yield some useful timber, perhaps for rustic carpentry or even the sawmill.

Please be aware that some management operations may require a licence.
