Description

With the feel of an ancient hunting ground, Vernal Wood is one of the most attractive woodlands on our books at the moment. Set in a stunning location in the Shropshire hills, this wood offers an abundance of mature oaks, birch and ash within an open woodland.  There is woodland on three sides with the fourth looking out to fantastic views across wild flower meadows and the end of the Long Mynd in the distance.

The character of this wood is defined by the well-spaced trees and the unencumbered grassy floor that allows easy access to wander around. Where the canopy opens the vegetation rises to produce some more secluded areas of self-seeded trees, climbers, ferns and a rich and diverse oak woodland habitat. In its fertile soil you will find alder, hazel, holly trees and hard fern, dog-rose, honeysuckle, sedge and even some patches of bluebells to name but a few of the seasonal woodland blooms here.

Vernal Wood is found in a remote and peaceful location, only disturbed by the sound of farm animals in the distance and the clip-clop of a horse on the road. Access from the council road is along a hard stoned track that passes through fields and woodland on its way up and past the wood. There is a small pull-in to park a car and the track makes it accessible at all times of the year in a 2WD vehicle.


If It Were Mine

Not to be spoilt by human trappings I would maintain its ancient feel, a little path would be nice from the car to a camping spot, a rope swing would be fun on a sturdy tree and a bench or seat to look out from. Silviculturally, I would plant some native trees through suppression mats where there is open canopy and try to enhance the wood for the next generation.
