Description

Holme Wood is situated along the northern edge of a wider woodland known as Buckenhill Wood. Reaching the woodland could not be easier along an excellent stone track, perfectly suited to year-round access. A cleared area exists adjacent to the track that could be a good place to stack some timber or park the car when visiting.

Whilst the dominant species here is larch, there is also a smattering of silver birch, hazel, hawthorn and ash. Some of the hazel, whilst not tall have very wide stools which suggest they have been coppiced for perhaps in excess of 100 years. Towards the western end of the woodland there is a small area of young, planted ash and birch, these are getting to the size and age where a light thin might be in order (using the Forestry Commission thinning licence currently in place). On the opposite side of the woodland there is an open area where bracken normally dominates in the spring and summer months but would be a great place to plant and establish a couple of other tree species to improve diversity.

Immediately north of Holme Wood is an agricultural field which is not often used by anyone other than the odd sheep meaning the woodland benefits from lovely views. Some areas in this part of the wood are an ideal place to pitch a tent and enjoy the summer evenings.

There is a variety of wildlife in the woodland, of particular note are the muntjac deer that live and roam throughout. Commonly known as the barking deer because of its characteristic call, it can be heard throughout the day if left undisturbed. Hoof prints suggest roe deer are also in the vicinity but have not yet been seen. Badgers, foxes and squirrels are also present as well as a variety of birds including a pair of buzzards which are known to nest elsewhere in the wider woodland.

Classed as Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW), which means this area has had tree cover since the 1600s, there are a lot of different plant species growing characteristic of ASNW. These include bluebells, forget-me-nots, snowdrops, wood anemones, hart’s tongue and lords-and-ladies.

Whilst Holme Wood might not be considered large, it is big enough to establish a private family camping area along the northern boundary and there is plenty to get on with in managing this woodland that would provide a nice amount of firewood. All in all, a lovely little woodland in a quiet part of the world.

If It Were Mine

The western end of the woodland could do with a bit of a thin that would create a small amount of firewood.

Camping is my hobby and there are a few areas along the northern boundary that are a bit hidden from the rest of the world and I would clear some of these and pitch a tent and set a campfire for a bit of wild camping.

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

Directions & Access

• Heading northeast out of Bromyard along the B4203, direction Stourport, drive up the hill for approximately 2 miles.
• Once you have driven through the hamlet of Norton the road will level and then descend.
• Shortly thereafter you will drive alongside a high sandstone wall and where the wall ends, there is a sharp turning on your left, direction Edvin Loach.
• Turn left and drive along this un-named road for a further 0.5 miles, and when the road bends sharply to the right at the bottom of the hill, the entrance to the woodland is on the left set back from the road (point A on the plan below), indicated by a Woods4Sale sign.
• Please park in front of the gate ensuring you are not blocking access (sorry we do not provide keys for viewings).
• Climb the gate and walk along the track for approximately 50 metres, you will reach a set of wooden posts marked with yellow paint on the right hand side of the track and this is the start of the woodland (B).
