Description

Maiden Wood is found in the heart of the wonderful and historic Nottinghamshire countryside. The woodland can be found at the end of a hard-stoned track which is easily traversable year-round in 2 wheeled drive cars. There are a few internal access tracks that were used for management purposes that are now covered by a variety of grass species but with a little clearance could be easily repurposed.

The 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.

Whilst beech is the predominate tree species in the woodland, other notable specimens include some lovely old coppiced hazel stools along the northern boundary, the occasional mature ash and some sycamore too. In the sunlit open spaces on the ground, you will find a nice mix of plant life and young saplings all vying for space.

Near the southern boundary is a pond full of wildlife, including dragonflies, pond skaters, water beetles and boatmen and there is almost certainly a variety of amphibians that call this pond home. It remains full year-round despite not being stream fed and although it has been left to run a bit wild in recent years, with a bit of attention it will make a nice feature and continue to provide a habitat to both wild and plant life.

The wider woodland is called Nut Wood and has been classified as Ancient Replanted Woodland (PAWS) with regards to the ground flora growing on the lime rich soils. To further protect this area, the woodland is also classified as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Deer have been seen in the surrounding fields and woodland and there are signs that suggest they graze on the plant life between the trees. A variety of songbirds are sure to inhabit the trees and produce a lovely background sound. Badgers, foxes, rabbits, hares and squirrels are also known to wander through from time to time too.

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 certainly look to clear a sport near the pond for a camping table and a tent to spend an evening or two under the stars.

The large beech trees probably do not need major intervention any time soon, however there is plenty of firewood to be taken out if desired. This could also create some nice open spaces, where if the grasses and bramble are controlled, I am sure a profusion of wildflowers would appear.

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