Description

Ballihoo Wood is a fantastic woodland predominately filled with oak trees, a smattering of ash, the occasional sycamore, rowan, hawthorn, and a couple of western hemlock. We understand the oak trees were planted about 50 years ago and have been well managed. The recent thinning operations within the woodland have created more room for the remaining trees to grow. Whilst the trees within the woodland are relatively similar in age, there are some older oak trees to the edges.

The ground vegetation within the woodland at the time of writing was dominated by fruit laden blackberries but there is a mix of other plant species present, such as red campion, varieties of ferns, wild grasses, some fungi and even the occasional self-seeded oak or ash tree too competing for space and light.

The recently upgraded stone track leading into the woodland allows easy access with two wheeled drive cars all 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, making Ballihoo Wood a noticeably quiet space with only the gentle sounds of the countryside for company.

Whilst the woodland is situated on a gentle northwest facing slope, there is a small flat area near the main track and a larger flat area in the south west corner of the woodland which feels very secluded being situated against the edge of the trees.

Squirrels and songbirds (and the occasional buzzard) are frequent visitors to the woodland and it is suspected that the bramble is home to some dormice too. All in all, Ballihoo Wood is a wonderfully quiet and secluded woodland, a delightful place to spend some time out of the house.

If It Were Mine

Making a couple of paths through the bramble to allow access up to the top of the woodland, I might even try and clear enough to drive my car there in in the drier weather. I would almost certainly clear an area in the southwest corner to pitch a tent as this would be a great place to camp.

I would also look to underplant between the rows of the oak trees and I might look to introduce a second species and plant in some reasonable numbers, perhaps cherry as the blossom in the spring is a delight and would look amazing with the oak trees, not to mention the crop of fruit you might get too!

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