Description

Lookers Hyde forms part of a larger Ancient Semi Natural Woodland, confirming that there has been continuous tree cover since at least the year 1600. The wood is enhanced by an abundance of native woodland features that would only occur where there has been little tree disturbance. 

With good hard track access all the way to the woodland boundary, you will immediately be drawn to an open area of bare shaley earth that would be suitable for planting new trees. Beyond this area the ground dips away and becomes highly populated with native trees - chestnut, birch, maple, oak and rowan are common. There are also ancient woodland species including holly and yew providing dense green in the cooler months.  

The flora in this wood is especially abundant in the lower areas, you will find bluebells, primroses, and wild garlic to name a few of the woodland blooms.

The fauna is especially interesting with fallow and roe deer tracks here and there - signs of badger and fox are evident too. Many feathered visitors, including little owl, sparrowhawk, woodpecker and many harmonious songsters enjoy the tranquillity of this location.

The wood is accessible with a 2WD vehicle all year round with locked gates at the entrance, shared with other woodland owners.

If It Were Mine

I would plant a hedge of thorn and hornbeam along the boundary of the open space, then within I would plant mostly birch in the poorer soils with beech and oak in the brown earth. I might also scratch out a camping area for a firepit and seats. 

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