Description

Proctor Wood is situated in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in southeast Devon. Honiton is about 2 miles to the west, from where the A30 gives good access up country or west to Exeter (some 25 minutes away). A number of Devon’s famed coastal resort villages like Sidmouth and Lyme Regis are a short drive to the south.

The wood occupies moderate slopes looking north over a secluded and un-roaded valley. Aside from the occasional train in the cutting below there is little here to disturb the peace, beyond birdsong and the rustle of wind in the trees.

Proctor wood is dominated by a stand of Norway spruce which was originally planted as Christmas trees about 30 years ago, but the crop ‘got away’ and has now matured into a fine stand with good form and the promise of some quality timber. Within the spruce there are occasional birch stems and a number of oak, beech and rowan fringe the central ride. The woodland floor is remarkably ‘clean’ allowing for easy pedestrian access across the entire site amidst light bracken, moss, bluebells and ferns.

Access is via a recently upgraded hard stone track which is navigable by cars with reasonable clearance. This track extends well into the property giving ‘in-wood’ parking and also offering good access for management operations.

This compact property promises much for the woodsman and comes with an entry-level price ticket.

If It Were Mine

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

• After 300 metres, where the road bends sharply right, you will see the entrance to the woodland - a stone track straight ahead of you (point A on the plan).
• PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE INTO THE WOODLAND, but park in the layby on the right 70m before the woodland entrance (J).
• Walk down the main hard track from A (via the gate at B) for about 380 metres and turn right at the T junction at the base of the hill (C).
• Follow the track up the hill for about 140 metres until you see an old wall running off to left and right.
• You are now at point D on the plan. Proctor Wood is straight ahead of you.
