Description

Helix Wood is situated among a wider forested area known as Birchen Copse on the fringes of Woodcote village, some 19 miles south of Oxford.

Standing on well drained loamy soils, a strong canopy of majestic beech trees dominate the woodland. This tranquil copse was initially established to yield timber for a once prosperous furniture industry in High Wycombe. Known for its shade tolerance, some vigorous beech regeneration combined with large thickets of holly occupy the shrub layer. Several birch also pepper the area, particularly towards the southwest boundary where the woodland opens. A new owner could strim a spot to pitch a tent.       

It is a mostly level site with a gentle incline leading into the trees from the southwest. A large display of seasonal fungi, a characteristic of beech woodland, will delight an enthusiast. These include fly agaric, porcelain fungi and chanterelle. Populations of roe and muntjac deer regularly visit the area as well as a wonderful array of birdlife, such as buzzard, tawny owl, woodpecker and many songsters.        

Helix Wood is accessed via a hard track that runs just inside the southwest and southeast boundaries, suitable for a 2WD car. This access offers good scope for a weekend woodsman wishing to extract a small amount of firewood.  


If It Were Mine

The open area towards the southwest boundary would make a lovely locus for a night out, perhaps with a small fire. I would consider gathering a little beech wood for my meat smoker at home, some locally sourced smoked venison would be delicious!

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