Description

Aves Wood is a mature oak, sycamore and ash woodland with a thick understorey of regenerating sycamore and ash trees. Classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to some rare plant species growing in places and found sandwiched between Ancient Semi Natural Woodlands known as Whip Ridding and Redgate. Whilst not technically ASNW, Aves shares many of the characteristics of this type of land.

Vehicular access is along a stone track which also serves as a public bridleway, through padlocked gates leading to the woodland boundary. There is a secondary access for forestry purposes only along the western edge of the woodland. The entire forested area has 6 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.

Situated between the villages of Kirklington and Eakring in central Nottinghamshire the woodland 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 woodland is basically flat, with only a slight fall towards the western edge. Where the self-seeded trees are less dominant, you can find a profusion of plants such as bluebell, lords-and-ladies, dog’s mercury and a mixture of wild grasses. Muntjac deer are present and have been seen (or spooked!) in the woodland and signs of fallow deer too. Wild birds are always present and provide a lovely background noise, especially in the spring and summer months. Squirrels, of the grey variety, can nearly always be spotted in the treetops or on the ground foraging for food.

Aves Wood represents a great woodland with good access, perfect for someone looking to harvest a good quantity of firewood, wildlife spotting or just relaxing quietly and absorbing the peaceful surroundings.

If It Were Mine

The regenerating sycamore and ash make an ideal privacy barrier if desired - I would look to cut a path through to the centre and perhaps clear a small area as I think camping here would be quite special. I would remove a few of the poorer quality trees in conjunction with the clearing as this would allow sunlight to reach the woodland floor and encourage the wildflowers to flourish.

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