Description

Bugle Wood occupies the southern facing hilltop of the historic Hunt Hill Woodland. Situated in the midst of Cheshire countryside, it is only 5 miles from Northwich and a short drive from Chester. The wood is easily reached along a recently upgraded stoned track which provides excellent year-round access. This track is found off a lane just a few minutes from the A533 between Northwich and Chester. Traffic is minimal, making the woodland a very tranquil place.

Believed to have been part of the Wilbraham family estate that owned a lot of the surrounding land in the late 18th century the head of the family, George Wilbraham, was a keen huntsman and this woodland is believed to have been kept and managed for their hunting grounds. Bugle Wood is on a gentle slope, and is made up of mature sycamore, oak and beech trees - there are some fantastic looking examples of each species that are over 150 years old. Growing up underneath is a mixture of young birch, chestnut and hazel with the occasional holly tree.

Sprinkled through the woodland are some lovely sunlit open spaces. Where the canopy overhead opens up, there is an array of thriving plantlife such as bluebells, wild garlic, dog’s mercury, wild campion, a variety of fern, wild grasses and bracken. One such notable place is at the very top where there is a lovely flat area, a perfect place to pitch a tent or enjoy the views out over the adjacent fields.

During the day, the woodland is visited by squirrels, rabbits and hares, countless songbirds and occasional buzzards surfing the overhead air currents. At night, there is a local family of badgers that forage in the wider woodland.


If It Were Mine

I would firstly cut up and split the timber already on site, stack them nearby and leave to dry and season for the following winter’s wood store at home.

Over time I would thin out some of the denser areas of smaller sycamore and hazel to introduce light to the woodland floor and create space for the best quality trees (there is a Forestry Commission thinning licence in place to facilitate this). The rhododendron provides a nice bit of screening from the track, this I might encourage to grow in specific places to provide further privacy.

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