Description

Drift Wood is part of a larger woodland classified as an Ancient Semi Natural Woodland, thus confirming there has been continuous tree cover since at least the year 1600. The wood is enhanced by an abundance of native woodland features that would only occur where there has been little tree disturbance. 

Access via a good stone track suitable for a 2WD car in all seasons is superb and leads right into the woodland where there is a layby to park and turn.

This parcel of wood is characterised by a fast flowing stream through a steep gully rising up to the level before meeting the boundary. To the west are views of open pasture with the Wrekin in the background. Occupying part of a larger forest all other sides look out to woodland.

Drift Wood comprises oak, birch, rowan, ash, alder, chestnut, hazel and holly of various age and size meaning this small woodland is highly diverse and abundant with trees.  At the centre the stream winds its way through the wood with small waterfalls where the bed form drops. This delightful area is an ecological haven abundant with herbs and flowers that attract birds and insects alike. Notable ones are bluebells, primroses, honeysuckle and wild garlic seasonal blooms.


If It Were Mine

I would continue the excellent aspirations of the current owners who have created a delightful walkway out of a fallen ash, providing access over the stream to the opposite bank. I would also maintain the saplings that they have planted and perhaps contribute with some further native woodland plants like box holly and yew. 

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