Description

Forming part of a wider tranquil wooded area, Longwick Wood is situated in rural Buckinghamshire and is a stone’s throw from Great Missenden, once the home of the celebrated children’s author Roald Dahl. It is accessed through a locked gate along a track. 

Located among gentle north and north-westerly sloping chalk and flint soils, the canopy is largely dominated with beech, a familiar species in the Chilterns and historically grown to service the furniture industry in the area. Further varieties incorporate hornbeam, oak, sycamore and ash. Within the shrub layer is lush holly, hazel, rowan and younger specimens of beech and hornbeam. Numerous spots throughout offer wonderful privacy for camping between the groves of holly. Come the spring and summer months, a patchwork of bluebell, primrose, foxglove, herb robert, bracken and dog’s mercury provide a splash of colour to the woodland floor and provide a welcome habitat for insects and our essential pollinators.

A woodland ride towards the west of the wood accommodates a low-capacity power line, affording the local deer population (roe and fallow) space to graze and bask on a warm clear day. Some undulations in the ground are understood to be former chalk pits from bygone days. Far reaching farmland views are enjoyed from the southern and southeastern boundaries.  

In addition to deer, other woodland mammals such as badger, wood mouse fox and hare have been spotted. A range of feathered visitors include buzzard, skylark, tree pipit, green woodpecker and many harmonised songsters.

If It Were Mine

I would create a discreet camping sport towards the southeast corner of the woodland and possibly  a hammock somewhere close to the boundary to relax while looking out at the views beyond. Perhaps a straight stem of beech would be chosen to fell and mill on site; beech wood chip for smoking and fuel amongst other things could be yielded from this.

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