Description

Located towards the southern end of the beautiful Chiltern Hills, Glenisters Copse is an excellent illustration of beech woodland that fringes the sleepy village of Woodcote in Oxfordshire.

The fine tree stems display skilled silvicultural management that was more than likely to have serviced the thriving furniture industry in nearby High Wycombe during the 1870s. The rich clay soils common to the area have also produced some grand looking specimens of sweet chestnut complementing the lush beech canopy. There is a healthy understory of large holly and strong beech regeneration as well as some tranquil open spaces that would make weekend camping a pleasure in the summer.

Brachythecium moss decorates the woodland floor where bountiful wildlife can also be heard amongst the understory. Sightings of roe and muntjac deer are not uncommon and abundant songbirds and the occasional hoot of an owl can be heard echoing through the trees.  

The southeast boundary has recently been re-fenced to a high standard with the plot also benefiting from very good access via a hard-surfaced track, navigable by a 2WD vehicle throughout the seasons.

If It Were Mine

I would certainly take full advantage of the open spaces of this peaceful woodland for summer camping. I would also thin out some of the holly and use it for its good burning efficacy, fuelling the log burner at home. 

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