Description

The highlight of Seville Wood is almost certainly the oaks and beech, their tall canopies and long tree trunks create a wonderful look and feel when walking through the woodland. The trees are believed to be nearing 100 years old from our estimates, and the majority have grown to form straight stems which promise to yield some great timber. You can also find some mature ash dotted sporadically throughout as well as a few Scots pines, an occasional hawthorn or two and some hazel trees.

A part of Seville Wood is classed as an Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW) and a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), due in the most part to a few rare species of plants growing throughout the wider woodland such as crested dogstail, eagle fern and black knapweed. A variety of wild grasses, wildflowers (bluebells, snow drops and wood anemone) bramble, dog’s mercury, and a variety of mosses are also present.

The woodland lies on either side of a small valley like formation and is generally sloping down to the south. There is an old stone stacking area on the eastern boundary, a little overgrown, but with clearance work would be a great asset to the woodland as a whole.

Access 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 for forestry purposes only along the western edge of the woodland.

Seville 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.

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

Clearing a stacking area would be a great start, making a great place to park, stack firewood, or even as a staging point for any larger operations in the woodland, such as felling any of the large oaks.

I might look at felling some of the poorer quality ash and beech trees, which would create some great timber, open up the canopy and allow a bit more light to encourage the wildflowers to flourish.

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 metal bar gate 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.
  • Continue walking until you reach another timber gate (point B) on the right hand side.
  • Climb over the gate and walk along the stone track for approximately 420 metres.
  • You will pass 2 flat stoned areas (1 is immediately after the timber gate at point B) on the western side of the track.
  • Just before you reach the third stoned area, you will see a green painted post on the left-hand side and one on the right (which is set back from the track by a few metres), this is the start of the woodland (point C).

Boundaries

  • The north boundary is indicated by blue paint on trees and posts.
  • The east boundary is indicated by green paint on trees and posts (a small section in the north east corner is the eastern edge of the stone track, however it is mostly the western edge of the stone track, the posts may be offset by a short way).
  • The south boundary is indicated by pink paint on trees and posts.
  • The west boundary is the eastern edge of the track indicated by white paint on wooden posts and boundary trees that may be offset by a short distance.

Sporting Rights

  • The sporting rights are owned and included in the sale. They are not let.
  • There is a historic exception to this where a named person in the title document could enter the property to take fox, however we believe this is unlikely to be exercised.

  • The rights to extract oil are reserved to a previous owner and we believe these are unlikely to ever be exercised.
