Description

Buckler Wood lies towards the northeast corner of a larger woodland called Buckenhill, which is found a few miles north of the market town of Bromyard in Herefordshire. Worcester is approximately 30 minutes to the east and Leominster is 20 minutes to the west. The main access is through a metal gate which leads into the wider woodland with a secondary access along a bridleway to the east.

Surrounded by woodland and the beginnings of the Bromyard Downs to the southeast, Buckler Wood benefits from being well sheltered and protected. Larch and Douglas fir are the main tree species growing here. These 40-50 year old specimens have been well thinned in recent years and have grown to a substantial size. The timber produced from the larch would make ideal cladding for a shed and the Douglas fir would make great outdoor furniture due to its natural resistance to rot. The understorey is quite thick with hazel, ash and sycamore trees and saplings as well as hawthorn which could be coppiced to make some great firewood or cut for walking sticks.

In springtime, the woodland comes alive with not only the sound of birds, but is also abundant with bluebells and the exceptional colours are not to be missed. Wild grasses and a mixture of ferns dot the ground throughout, as well as mosses and the occasional Hart’s tongue.

There is a variety of wildlife in the woodland, most notably the muntjac deer that roam through the trees. Commonly known as the barking deer because of its characteristic call, they 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 birds including a pair of buzzards which are known to nest elsewhere in the wider woodland.

If It Were Mine

I would scrape the mud off the track to the east to allow access in a 2WD vehicle and clear some of the younger tree species from the understorey to create an area for a bit of camping. Some of the Douglas fir or larch could be felled and milled on site to make woodland furniture, and perhaps create a lean-to shelter with some of the larch.

 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 go downhill.
• 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).
