Description

Cobb Wood lies on a flat site sandwiched between arable fields and woodland. The majority of the canopy is composed of mature oak. A few large ash are peppered throughout and there are scattered stems of other species including beech, rowan, birch and an abundance of hazel.

The oak are of fine quality and there is the prospect of selectively felling individual trees under an approved Forestry Commission thinning licence. This would produce some high value mill-wood and release the best retained stems to grow on. Equally, owners may elect not to risk dabbling with perfection, choosing instead to enjoy the oak as they are.

Hazel stools are widespread beneath the canopy along with holly, dog rose, honeysuckle, hawthorn and elder. The woodland floor is unencumbered by vegetation and it is possible to walk to many parts unhindered. The herb layer is almost exclusively populated by species associated with an Ancient Woodland including wood anemone, wild garlic and dog’s mercury along with a few patches of bluebells.

There are attractive views to the northwest over a landscape of arable fields and woodland in the distance. Cobb Wood is very close to an old roman settlement that marked the junction of Fosse Way and Watling Street, two major road arteries that stretch across the country.  All this tranquillity is ideally located with superb access to Nuneaton, Coventry and Rugby. Cars can be driven to a private hard-standing area within the wood thanks to a newly upgraded all-weather forest track, which will also facilitate small-volume timber extraction.

If It Were Mine

Some of the birch could be thinned out to allow light onto the floor and encourage regeneration or new planting to flourish. I would also take a look to see if any of the mature trees would be suitable for a tree house!

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