Description

Whitton Wood lies towards the south of a larger forested area accessed by a substantial forest track. The wood looks out on to pasture land and is set in a quiet rural location between Ross and Ledbury.

The wood has a range of hardwood species including cherry, oak, ash, sycamore and occasional birch in addition to a significant group of mature Douglas fir. These stems are of good form and size and will yield plenty of firewood or even some timber.

The understorey is populated by a variety of native shrubs (mostly hazel plus some hawthorn and blackthorn). The woodland floor is flush with vegetation in the summer and uncluttered with a profusion of woodland flowers, herbs and grasses. Along the hedge banks there are swathes of wild garlic and wood anemone giving a succession of colour and heady seasonal fragrance.

The fertile soils yield good growth and a firm hold for the trees, offering the prospect of long-term retention. Tree harvesting and recreational access are all aided by the excellent forest tracks and level terrain of this easily-worked wood.

Whitton Wood enjoys excellent access thanks to the recently upgraded forest track which is suitable for cars and a small parking spur at the east of the wood.


If It Were Mine

I would consider felling the larger Douglas and open an area to plant new trees in shelters and create a young woodland habitat along the track. I would also create a path into the wood from the parking area and perhaps somewhere to camp.

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