Description

Gulley Wood is situated on the eastern fringes of the county of Herefordshire, a few miles from the market town of Bromyard and within reach of the delightful Bromyard Downs. Getting here could not be easier, it is a short distance from the B4203, and there is an excellent stone access track from the public highway that affords year-round, two wheeled drive vehicle access.

Within the woodland, the chief tree species, by size if not by number, is European larch, but there is a profusion of other species such as Douglas fir, ash, wild cherry, hazel, hawthorn, holly, silver birch and the occasional oak tree. The larch on the higher ground are believed to have been planted in the 1990s, and the ash and cherry in the north are believed to be less than 10 years old but the fir is much older, likely having been planted in the 1970s or 80s. Most of the other species are found on the fringes and are a variety of ages and sizes, some of the hazel trees are growing from quite large coppice stools and these are suspected to be quite old too!

As your gaze drops from the impressively tall canopy to the myriad of shrubs and plants growing on the woodland floor, you will notice that the ground is dotted with plants that indicate this is indeed an Ancient Woodland. Bluebells, snowdrops, wood anemones, hart’s tongue, lords-and-ladies, as well as the more common bramble, ferns, a variety of mosses and the odd fungi can all be found here.

The wood has a northerly aspect and is sheltered from the prevailing wind.  The soils are nice and deep, freely draining, slightly acidic loamy.

All in all, this is a wonderful woodland with a mix species of different age classes and is a great place to get away from the busy world, sleep out under the stars, and enjoy the tranquillity of a truly ancient woodland.


If It Were Mine

If I was feeling adventurous, I would look to fell one or two of the larch to use for various DIY projects at home, or to create a timber bench to sit and enjoy the tranquillity.

I would look to clear some of the redundant tree guards from the ash and cherry towards the northern boundary of the woodland.

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

Directions & Access

  • Heading northeast out of Bromyard along the B4203, direction Stourport, drive up the hill for approximately 2 miles.
  • Once you have driven through the hamlet of Norton the road will level and then descend.
  • Shortly thereafter you will drive alongside a high sandstone wall and where the wall ends, there is a sharp turning on your left, direction Edvin Loach.
  • Turn left and drive along this un-named road for a further 0.5 miles, and when the road bends sharply to the right at the bottom of the hill, the entrance to the woodland is on the left set back from the road (point A on the plan below), indicated by a Woods4Sale sign.
  • Please park in front of the gate, (sorry we do not provide keys for viewings).
  • Walk along the track for approximately 500 metres, at this point the track will start to ascend
  • Continue up the hill until you come to a post on the left marked with blue and white paint, this is the start of the woodland (point B).

  • The northwest boundary is indicated by green paint on trees and wooden posts.
  • The northeast boundary is indicated with blue paint on trees and wooden posts.
  • The southeast boundary is the outside edge of the track and is indicated by white paint on wooden posts that may be off-set by a short distance.
