Description

Ferny Brow is situated in a fantastic, tranquil setting near to Telford in Shropshire. Forming part of a larger forest this Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland has seen little disturbance for many years. It is comprised of mature chestnut, oak, birch and rowan with minor trees such as holly, yew and hazel.

This wood is brimming with character and is a wonder to explore - there are some historic depressions on the ground, created whilst looking for coal, which is understood to be close to the surface in places. Part of the wood is flat with slight undulations featuring mature sprawling chestnut trees - the west side of the wood slopes away and is covered with a thicket of holly with standards throughout.

There are frequent signs of wildlife, such as the occasional deer track, badger scratchings and a wide variety of birdsong including a chance owl call. The floor is seasonally abundant with bluebells, ferns and foxglove and a small number of young trees.

This attractive and biodiverse woodland is ideal for those interested in conservation, wildlife spotting or recreation, whilst also appealing to those looking for a good source of sustainable wood fuel.

Access to the wood is provided by a hard surfaced track suitable for a car at all times of the year. There is a useful area to park a car and 'gear up' for woodland activities.

If It Were Mine

The trees on the slope would welcome thinning, clearing patches of the holly would allow for regenerating trees and vegetation to take hold if given a fence to deter browsing deer.

There is a largish ‘bowl’ feature on the ground that would make a perfect secluded camping area surrounded by sizeable trees, any one of which would be ideal for a rope swing. I would use the timber produced by the thinning as firewood for the hearth and the odd campfire for a night under the stars.

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