Description

Noble Wood lies in the southwestern corner of a wider Ancient Woodland called Whip Ridding. The wider woodland is classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in part due to plant species that are rare to this location. The small village of Eakring is less than a mile away (which has a quaint local pub if a warm meal is needed after a day in the woods). A series of tracks that lead to Noble Wood allow full vehicular access.

Primarily consisting of mature ash trees which are ready to be felled, some mature sycamore and oak trees are also dotted around. On the edges and sporadically throughout the woodland one can also find hazel, hawthorn and the odd holly trees too. The dense overhead canopy of leaves  has resulted in most of the woodland being relatively free of ground vegetation, apart from the odd laurel bush.  In the few areas where sunlight hits the floor a profusion of bramble and other plant species are found growing.  A number of self-seeded saplings are waiting for their chance to grow big and tall.

The entire forested area has 4 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.

Noble Wood has both level and sloped areas but is easily traversable on foot. With its discreet location in relation to the wider woodland, the topography and the dense laurel bushes, this woodland maintains a high level of seclusion and privacy to the benefit of future owners.

Muntjac deer have been seen in the woodland and there are signs of fallow deer too. Wild birds are always present and provide a lovely background noise, especially in the spring and summer months. Grey squirrels can nearly always be spotted in the treetops or on the ground foraging for food. In summary, this is a lovely quiet woodland that has been forgotten a little bit over the past few years a lot of potential to the next caretakers of the land, whatever their objectives.

If It Were Mine

I would be very tempted to look at some selective felling of the mature ash and sycamore as these could be highly prized by woodworkers. If not, there is plenty of firewood that could be extracted for years to come without significantly impacting the overall tree cover. Tracks would need to be established to access the trees but these could double up as good access routes for amenity purposes, such as a bit of wild camping or exploration if there are any young children in the family.

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