Description

Broad Wood is a most attractive woodland featuring mature widely spaced oaks that create a natural undisturbed feel. Set within an Ancient Woodland amongst the stunning Shropshire hills, it represents a fantastic opportunity to own a diverse quintessential English woodland. There is an abundance of birch and ash throughout with a flush of alder where the soil is wetter. Two of the boundaries are adjoining woodland and the third is the edge of a hard surfaced track providing access along the full length of the wood.

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. Thriving in its fertile soil you will find alder, hazel, holly trees and hard fern, dog-rose, honeysuckle, sedge and even some small patches of bluebells to name but a few of the seasonal woodland blooms here.

Broad Wood is 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 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.
