Description

Blackberry Patch Wood is a delightful semi-mature oak woodland with a variety of other tree species scattered throughout. Ash, hazel, the occasional hawthorn, willow and even a rowan are growing here and in the autumn months the colour range as the leaves change is stunning. On the boundary of the woodland there are a few mature oak trees, some old coppice hazel stools, a few hawthorn and the occasional ash that form a natural privacy screen whilst still having the odd gap in the branches allowing views across the rolling Herefordshire countryside.

Situated on a gentle slope that faces north west, the soils underneath are a fertile deep brown. Towards the top and the bottom of the woodland the ground levels out and forms some flatter areas, some of which would be a great place to pitch a tent or put a seating area in.

Good forest management operations have opened up the canopy to provide more growing space for the remaining oak trees. Initially planted as a pure oak crop back in the 1980s, these have grown well, resulting in some high quality stems. The other regenerating species are filling the spaces between the oak trees and are a mixture of ages and sizes. The felling operation that took place has opened up some channels that could be a good place to do a bit of underplanting and by choosing some suitable species you could increase the diversity of Blackberry Patch.

As the name suggests, Blackberry Patch Wood is home to a lot of bramble bushes, which were at the time of writing, heavily laden with fruit. Whilst in some areas these bushes need to be cleared to allow better access, they are certainly of benefit to a keen forager and likely a habitat and food source for a variety of animals and birds (potentially even the elusive and rarely seen dormouse).

The recently upgraded stone track leading into the woodland affords easy access with two wheeled drive cars year-round. The short journey from the main road takes you through some apple and pear orchards which are grown for a local cider making farm. The fields further beyond are a mixture of grazing land and wheat fields and make for a very quiet space with only the gentle sounds of the countryside for company.

If It Were Mine

Clearing a few paths between the trees would allow easy access to the top part of the woodland where pitching a tent is a must.

I would look to plant up some of the wide avenues in the woodland with some other species that would suit the area, cherry is my favourite and in years to come might make a nice crop of fruit too.

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