Description

Ponteview Wood is an outstanding oak woodland extending to just under three acres, conveniently located off the A1 near to Sandy, a short car journey from Bedford and Cambridge. The woodland benefits from vehicular access along a hard track which runs along the southern boundary and is suitable for a 2WD car.

This rich fertile woodland has an upper canopy that is dominated by impressive oak trees. They have been managed exceptionally well through the years to produce straight and tall stems which will one day produce some fine timber.

The understorey is almost free of any vegetation with the exception of the odd thorn, hazel and elder providing an open and airy feel to the wood. Through the bramble there is an assemblage of seasonal wildflowers including primrose and bluebell. Several bird types were noted including starling, woodlark and a red kite gliding high up above the canopy.

Ponteview Wood will surely appeal to everyone with an appreciation of magnificent oaks and the outdoor environment. Regardless, it is a superb setting from which to explore and enjoy.

If It Were Mine

I would identify some breaks in the canopy to plant some young trees. I would also create a dug out in the light soils to use as a camping spot for a night or two under the stars with the kids. There is a management plan in place to lightly thin some of the trees, but I would keep the wood relatively unchanged.

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