Description

Fallow Wood is a fascinating mixture of good commercial conifer trees intimately mixed with native broadleaves and an area of pure broadleaf trees in the western corner.

The Douglas fir were planted 14 years ago and are now growing very well with most trees well over 20 feet tall. The ability of the woodland to grow very high quality softwood timber was well demonstrated when the adjacent crop was recently felled. Douglas fir is probably the most valuable of softwood timbers grown in the UK and it is likely to yield a further crop of valuable timber in years to come.

The broadleaf trees that have grown up amongst the conifers provide wonderful diversity for landscape and conservation. Future management could favour either the conifers or the broadleaves, or alternatively continue with the current mixture.

The trees are now at a stage where they will require no further maintenance until they are ready for the first thinning operation in 5-10 years.

The access to the woodland is suitable for two wheel drive vehicles at all times of the year and magnificent views can be appreciated of the valley below and rolling hills on all sides.

The woodland was recently replanted with mixed broadleaves and the new owner is obliged by the conditions of the Forestry Commission Felling Licence to ensure the trees survive.


If It Were Mine

A light thinning of the conifer trees would allow the remaining trees to mature, whilst also opening the woodland up for ease of access. Plenty of wood for a camp fire or BBQ!

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.

Directions & Access

  • From Knighton; leave the town on the B4355 and travel for 1.7 miles until you get to a right turn signed for Whitton and Walton.
  • Take this right turn and continue for 1.8 miles until you get to the cross roads in Whitton.
  • Continue straight over the cross roads and then on for another 1.4 miles until you get to a right turn signed for Cascob.
  • Turn right here and then continue for a further 1.9 miles until you get to a small bridge over a narrow river. Immediately before the bridge there is a narrow road off to the left.
  • Take this left turn and then go through the gate which is in front of you after about 50 metres (point A on the plan below).
  • Please ensure that you shut this gate behind you. There are sheep in the field.
  • Drive along the hard road through the field until you get to a second (locked) gate (point B). Please park here and walk the rest of the way to Fallow Wood. This will take you about 5 minutes.
  • I am sorry but we do not issue keys for viewing.
  • Continue walking along the forest road, up the slope to the turning circle at the end (point C).
  • Here you should turn left and walk up the road for a further 150 metres until you come to a wooden post with a blue painted top (point D).
  • Fallow Wood is now in front of you to the right of the road.

Boundaries

  • The southern boundary is indicated by red paint on boundary trees to the north of the ditch.
  • The north-east boundary is the south-west side of the forest road.
