Description

Accessed along a stone track, Tetworth Copse is part of a larger woodland in rural Bedfordshire and located 20 miles west from the city of Cambridge.

Established amongst east and south facing sloping sandy loams, the canopy includes majestic oak, sweet chestnut, ash, birch, sycamore, Scots pine and larch. Many of the oak are of an outstanding quality providing a new owner scope to select a stem to be milled on-site, utilising the current Forestry Commission thinning licence. Underneath within the shrub layer there is lush hazel coppice, rowan, hawthorn, and regenerating sycamore.  During spring and summer, the ground layer teems with primrose, foxglove, bracken and blackberry; the latter is perfect for a jar or two of homemade jam.

Overnight camping here is a lovely prospect - there are some level areas towards the northwest that could be cleared for such activities. Hammocks could be hung between the stems to quietly observe the wildlife.

An array of feathered visitors such as woodpecker, owl, red kite, greenfinch and many harmonious songsters can be heard in this serene setting. Woodland mammals wander their way amongst the trees including muntjac, wood mouse, hare, badger and fox.


If It Were Mine

Selecting an ash tree for the log burner at home would be top of the list. Bringing a log splitter to the woodland for a day or two should make this an easier task. I would position a few trail cameras for wildlife observation throughout the woodland. Once I have spent some time getting to know my woodland, time might be spent improving my bushcraft skills.

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