Description

Sheltered on two sides, Dreamers Wood is a great place to do a bit of family camping, protected from the elements by the surrounding woodland. The wood is designated as an Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland (ASNW) and is also 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.

The woodland is mostly made up of mature beech, oak and ash, with the beech and ash being the dominant species. Under the tall canopy of broadleaves is a smattering of ash, hazel and the occasional hawthorn. The ground vegetation is mostly made up of wild grasses, bramble, dog’s mercury, wood anemone and a variety of moss species and wildflowers. With the arrival of spring, bluebells with their characteristic shape and colour add a new element to the woodland.

An old drainage ditch runs down near the eastern boundary but over the years has become quite cluttered with vegetation and fallen branches, arriving at an overgrown and (mostly) dried-up pond. There is an old flat stoned area nearby which could be a useful staging point in any future forest management operations such as clearing the pond and encouraging some more water into this area.

Access to Dreamers Wood is along a stone track that was built by the American army when drilling the area in search of oil in the mid 40s which leads to the eastern woodland edge. There is a secondary access along the western edge of the woodland, but this is only for forestry purposes.

Dreamers 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.

If It Were Mine

The mature trees need very little management due to their age and have been well managed over the years, but the drainage ditch and pond for would benefit from a bit of clearance. I would look to block up the outlet for a short period to allow water to collect in the pond as this would be a great place to sit and watch the wildlife.

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

Directions & Access

• Head east from Mansfield on the A617.
• Stay on the A617 (Kirklington Road) dual carriageway bypassing Rainworth.
• Go straight over the roundabout that meets the A614.
• After 4 miles turn left on to Eakring Lane.
• Follow the road for approximately 1.5 miles until you arrive at a carpark at the entrance to the forest, with a Red Rock Forestry sign on the gate (point A on the plan below).
• Park here and continue on foot (sorry, we do not provide keys for viewing).
• Continue walking for 390 metres until you reach a barrier across the main track, the entrance to a Woodland Trust woodland on the left and a timber gate on the right that is set back from the main track (point B).
• Turn right and step over the timber gate.
• Walk along this stone track for approximately 420 metres.
• You will pass 4 flat (1 is immediately after the timber gate at point B), stoned areas adjacent to the track, and immediately after the third, you will see a post on the left hand side, painted pink, blue and green, and a line of pink posts leading off to the right (point C).
• This is the start of the woodland.
