Description

Yeoman Wood is located in the well known and loved storybook countryside of Sherwood in Nottinghamshire. This predominantly beech wood has woodland on two sides with stunning views to the north and south over rolling countryside.

Although mostly made up of beech, Yeoman Wood is also graced with some wonderful oak, sycamore, birch and the occasional yew tree. Underneath the canopy of mature trees, ash, hazel, rowan and hawthorn create a wonderfully diverse woodland. In recent years, the woodland has benefited from some good management and the beech trees are lovely and tall with good form.

Access is at the far end of a hard-surfaced track and is consequently extremely secluded and peaceful. The wood is designated as Ancient Replanted Woodland (sometimes known as a Plantation on Ancient Semi-natural Woodland or PAWS site) which means it has been under continuous tree cover since the 1600s with a little help from mankind. A handy earth track runs up and forms the eastern boundary, a little overgrown at the moment with tall grasses. Acting as sentinels to the woodland, the entrance to Yeoman Wood is flanked by two gnarly ancient yew trees.

The woodland has also been designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) relating to the lime-rich soils that were used to seal the wellheads many years ago that formed part of the UK’s first onshore oilfield that was in operation during the mid-1940s.

The forest floor is rich with wildflowers 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.

A few open areas, ripe with tall grasses and fruit-laden bramble are present in the northern parts of the woodland and could be an ideal place to either plant some more trees, or clear an area for a bit of camping.

A pair of hinds in the neighbouring field were spooked during our last visit and are no doubt frequent visitors to the area. Badgers, foxes, rabbits and squirrels are all likely visitors to the area.

Yeoman 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.

This is a leasehold property with 929 years remaining. The wood is subject to a peppercorn annual rent of £1.25, payable every 5 years.

If It Were Mine

I would strim the grasses along the ride, cutting opposite sides every other year, this will ensure that they do not get overgrown whilst providing habitat for the butterflies.

Clearing some of the trees and branches that have grown into the tracks would also be a priority.

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