Description

Tapper Wood is named after the characteristic sound of the resident woodpeckers - one of the many feathered visitors here. Early risers, especially those with a bit of patience will likely spot (or hear) muntjac deer, also called the barking deer, as they move through the woodland searching for food. Roe deer, badgers, grey squirrels and foxes have all been seen which creates a hub of activity for those willing to sit awhile and watch the woodland come to life.

Tapper Wood is primarily made up of fine-looking Douglas fir and larch, and towards the southern end there is a mix of broadleaf trees. The oak and sweet chestnut growing here would be classed as veteran trees, which is those that are of significant age, size or condition and in this instance they would tick all the boxes. Nearby there are also some fine-looking ash and sycamore trees. Growing profusely underneath are a number of self-seeded sycamores, filling any available gap in the canopy.

Accessing your new woodland could not be easier, a stoned track, suitable for most cars leads from the entrance in the north all the way to the woodland edge. There is even a handy area for you to pull off the main track and park a car or stack some firewood.

Other than the impressive trees found in Tapper Wood, the ground vegetation is what also makes this place special. In springtime, the ground is covered in a sea of bluebells; in late winter/early spring snowdrops add spots of white to the greens and browns of the wood, and at other times you can almost always find a variety of other wildflowers and plants such as wood anemones, bracken, fruit laden bramble, wood sorrel, lords-and-ladies, yellow archangel, bugleweed as well as different types of mosses and ferns.

If It Were Mine

I would create a path from the main track up through the trees towards the southern boundary and clear a little area to make a workspace. I would start coppicing the sycamore and hazel to create a regular supply of firewood, and look to fell one or two of the larch or Douglas fir to make some cladding for a drying shed in the woodland (subject to Permitted Development of course) or to make some live edge shelving or furniture for the home.

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 off 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 unnamed 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).
• Climb the gate and walk along the track for approximately 500 metres, at this point the track will start to ascend.
• Continue up the hill until you reach point B, turn left and continue along the track until you reach a tree on the right marked with blue paint and a post on the left marked with green paint (point C), this is the boundary of the woodland.
