Description

Chalkdell Copse forms part of a larger peaceful woodland known as Rignall Wood located in rural Buckinghamshire and is a short distance from Great Missenden, the former home of children’s author Roald Dahl. It is accessed via a locked gate and along a track. 

Encompassed buy fertile chalky and flinty soils that slope gently northeast, its mature canopy is predominately occupied by magnificent stems of beech (a common species in the Chilterns and previously grown to benefit the once bustling local furniture industry), along with ash, oak, sycamore and hornbeam. Some of the larger hornbeam trees could offer a new owner a good stock of fuel if needed. Dominating the shrub layer beneath are lush clumps of holly, hazel and rowan along with younger beech and hornbeam. Alcoves amongst the holly could provide a nice sense of privacy for occasional overnights. Ground dwellers come warmer times of the year include bluebell, primrose, foxglove, herb robert, fern and dog’s mercury which deliver a colourful melange to the woodland floor.

Occupying the northeastern boundary is a large redundant pit that looks out across paddocks and farmland beyond, most likely a former source of chalk from bygone days. This would now make a superb area to practice bushcraft if cleared. Additional farmland views are also enjoyed from its southwestern boundary too.

A variety of feathered frequenters include buzzard, skylark, tree pipit, green woodpecker and many acoustic songsters. The mammal populous is made up of roe and fallow deer, badger, wood mouse fox and hare.

If It Were Mine

I would think about digging in a few steps down into the pit near the northeast boundary once this area has been cleared a little. Logs for the hearth would certainly take precedence, perhaps using a log splitter machine on site. Some trail cameras might be an idea to observe the local wildlife clans.

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