Description

Stamper Wood sits amid beautiful Sherwood countryside, with woodland on two sides and wonderful uninterrupted views on the others. The property is at the far end of a long hard surfaced track and as such it is very peaceful and quiet. The wood is designated as an Ancient Woodland thus determined by virtue of it being under continuous tree cover since the 1600s. It has been well managed to produce trees with good form and space.

The woodland is a mixture of semi mature native broadleaf trees typical of a native wood. There is a strong presence of beech supported by oak and sycamore. The understorey has a large population of small trees including hazel birch and rowan. There is also yew, a fabulous evergreen, symbolic of Ancient Woodland.

The forest floor is rich with wild flowers and shrubs, including patches of bluebells in springtime, violet, campion and anemone. There is also the lovely scent of seasonal honeysuckle in the morning, abundant in number because of the strong understorey.

The soils are generally well drained sandy loams over sandstone with impeded areas flush with ramsons (wild garlic). The ground is flat with a slight gradient to the area that lies within the overall south facing aspect.

Stamper Wood is situated between the villages of Kirklington and Eakring in central Nottinghamshire. It benefits from good links to both the A617 and A614 for travelling to the market towns of Newark, Southwell and Mansfield as well as the city of Nottingham.

It is accessible with a 2WD car along a hard-surfaced track, which runs the length of the forest all the way to the far edge of the wood. In addition a soft ride runs along the inside western edge.

Historically the area formed part of the UK’s first on-shore oilfield and was in operation during the mid-1940s; the well heads were sealed many years ago.

This is a leasehold property with 929 years remaining. The wood is subject to a peppercorn annual rent of £0.18, payable every 5 years.

If It Were Mine

I would manage the ride to provide access to remove any of the trees that are being suppressed or poor health trees. I would create some deadwood habitats and maintain the drainage where required.

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