Description

Tuck Wood is a charming woodland with exceptional access and a large stoned area suitable for stacking timber or perhaps creating an area for a picnic table and a small campfire. You can easily imagine yourself enjoying the solitude of this woodland. Access is along a hard-surfaced track, suitable for two wheeled drive vehicles all year round

A variety of tree species make quite a visually stunning structure as one wanders along the tracks created by tractors used in extracting the felled timber over the years. From the towering beech trees on the northern boundary to the old coppice hazel trees in the south, the mature ash and the occasional sycamore dotted throughout, this woodland, although small, is extremely diverse.

The woodland shows promise, the hazel stools are crying out to have a coppice regime reinstated that will improve the quality of the trees, whilst providing temporary open spaces that will enhance biodiversity.

Tuck Wood is part of a wider woodland that has been classified as Ancient Replanted Woodland due to the ground flora growing on the lime rich soils. This means that trees have grown in this area since before the 1600s. The woodland floor is rich with wildflowers such as bluebells, violets, campions and anemones.

A pair of hinds in the neighbouring field were spooked during our last visit.  Badgers, foxes, rabbits and squirrels are all likely visitors to the area.

Tuck Wood is situated between the villages of Kirklington and Eakring in central Nottinghamshire. There are 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 928 years remaining. The wood is subject to a peppercorn annual rent of  £1.25, payable every 5 years.

If It Were Mine

I would begin by re-establishing a coppice cycle with the hazel in the south west corner which would glean some nice size firewood that, after a bit of time spent drying by the side of the stoned area would burn well on the home fire.

The tracks within could be periodically strimmed or mown which would allow for some new plant growth (keep the long grasses at bay and let the bluebells and wild garlic flourish come the spring!).

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