Description

Coven Wood is a native broadleaf woodland set in the midst of an Ancient Semi Natural Woodland wider woodland called Whip Ridding, and shares many of the characteristics of its neighbouring land without the official classification. The land is classified as a SSSI due to rare plant species present such as dogstail, eagle fern and black knapweed which are all believed to be rare to the area.

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.

Vehicular access is along a shared stone track all the way into the woodland through padlocked gates. There is a secondary access for forestry purposes only along the western edge of the woodland. There is an old stacking area to the south on the sharp bend of the main track which is a little overgrown but could be a great place to dry some firewood or just use as a parking area whilst visiting.

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.

Coven Wood is mostly broadleaves with a few spruce and pine trees in the southwest corner. Oak, beech and sweet chestnut make up the majority of the mature trees, with an understorey of sycamore, beech, hawthorn and hazel. The understorey is very thick with regenerating trees so if some of the mature trees were to be felled (they would make good firewood or lovely timber!) there would be plenty of trees to take their place without the need for planting.

The woodland slopes very gently down to the south but is easily traversable on foot, and there are plenty of flat areas to camp. There is a relatively light ground layer of wild grasses, mosses, some bramble and the occasional wildflower such as bluebell, lords-and-ladies, dog’s mercury but this is mostly kept in check by the understorey of trees. Muntjac deer have been spotted in the woodland and the odd fallow deer in the surrounding areas 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.

All in all, this is a wonderful woodland with lots of character and variety, perfect for someone who wants to help conserve the environment but is small enough to manage.


If It Were Mine

Firstly, I would clear the vegetation from the stacking area as this has become quite overgrown. Then I would look to clear some of the understorey to let light onto the ground to see if this encourages more wildflowers to flourish. I might look at cutting a few of the bigger trees too as this would further benefit the ground flora.

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 Woods4Sale 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 walking round a metal bar gate across the main track (there is an 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 E).
  • Continue walking until you reach another timber gate (point B) on the right.
  • Climb over the gate and walk along the stone track for approximately 200 metres.
  • Immediately after the timber gate there will be a large stone stacking area on the right, keep walking down the track until you reach a set of yellow painted wooden posts, one on the left of the stone track and one set slightly back on the right (as you are facing south!).
  • This is the start of the woodland (point C).
