Description
Carts End is a compact parcel set within a larger Ancient Semi Natural Woodland. It is characterised by a manmade earth formation that provides a level platform on an otherwise sloping area of land. This provides a prominent but secluded elevated position hidden from all but the most adventurous.
Within the wood you will find tall and old oak trees, young birch, gnarly, twisted chestnuts and a plethora of other species growing wildly throughout. At the centre of the wood is a grassy area surrounded by birch trees and is a delightful setting for family camping.
Carts End is easily accessed with a 2 wheel drive car via a stone track from the council road leading up to and into the wood. A fence along the outer boundary and a locked gate at the entrance, solely for the use of Carts End makes this a very private woodland.
This woodland provides plenty of opportunity for a weekend woodsperson to do a little tree cutting and planting. For nature lovers, this commanding spot is a great position from where you can observe and make note of the wildlife in the area – fallow deer are popular on the Wrekin and you will likely see them passing through the wood at dusk and dawn.
If It Were Mine
The woodland does not need any significant work, perhaps a light thin to bring some order would not go amiss, and I would clear around the grassy areas to encourage the wildflowers.
Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
