Description

Wybunbury village is recorded as being one of the earliest settlements in Cheshire and mentioned in the Domesday book of 1086. It lies 3¼ miles southeast of Nantwich and 3¾ miles south of Crewe.

A stone's throw from the village church, the wood, known as Wybunbury Mere is a broadleaved naturalised woodland that occupies a wetland area on the outskirts of the village. Fronting Wrinehill Road, access is along a shared metalled track and through a gated entrance.

This well-maintained entrance leads to a path that skirts the east boundary of the woodland over a fast-flowing stream and into the 'belly' of the wood. A stream passes south through the wood and because of the low-lying topography and the mergence of ditches, it runs to a generous wetland habitat, rich and abundant with flora, insects and birds.

Tree wise, there is a variety of species which favour the different soil conditions - in the wetter section alder and willow and in the drier areas hazel, beech, oak, sycamore, birch, and ash. These trees are mature and offer great charm to the surroundings. 

Wybunbury Mere is brimming with character and is a wonderful place to explore. It is in a very quiet location to the rear of the old vicarage. Included within the sale is part of the access track that provides a route to farmland beyond and the site that a fortified structure once occupied.

Within the wood there is a very useful storage container that the owner is using to base woodland activities and dry firewood. It provides useful storage and even a place to make a hot drink during a morning’s adventure.

If It Were Mine

I would define the banks of the stream with a mini digger to enhance the flow of the water, I would also make a few little ponds to attract fish. The wood itself could be encouraged by some tree work to remove some of the gnarly and fallen willow. I would clad the container in timber to add some charm and character.

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