Description

Set in a stunning location in the Sherwood countryside, Outlookers Wood offers a delightful package. This parcel of broadleaved woodland is located at the heart of a large forest and has hard stone access tracks on three sides. The trees in the wood are a mature mix and comprises two distinct areas. One is oak and hazel and the other is ash and maple. There is a decent understory of pioneer species including hazel, birch and rowan. The ground is rich with dog’s mercury, celandine and anemone.

Outlookers 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.

Access to the wood is through two locked gates from the public road and along a hard surfaced track built by the American army when drilling the area in search of oil in the mid 40s. The tracks are suitable for a 2WD car at all times of the year and provide access to the wood from two sides.

The wood is designated as Ancient Woodland and it is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) relating to plants and features that are common in old woodlands.

The entire forested area has 7 years remaining on a 10 year management plan outlining, without obligation, the potential future management of the woodland that is in tune with the aspirations of the SSSI.

If It Were Mine

I would try and extend the oak cover into the ash area by felling gaps in the canopy and planting those areas up. I would perhaps create a hide to quietly observe the wildlife and enjoy a flask of soup. I’d also set up a rope swing – great fun for young and old alike!

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