Description

White Cliff Wood is located on the edge of a much larger wood in a very quiet and private location just outside the Welsh town of Ruthin. Originally the woodland was part of the Ruthin Castle Estate and managed by the Forestry Commission.

Access to the wood is via a long hard stoned track that winds through the wider forest known as Castle Wood. This is a very remote and secluded section of the larger wood and has delightful views opening over the rolling countryside.

The woodland offers two distinct tree covers; the south section is well stocked with highly prized Douglas fir that are at a mature age suitable for harvest. The northern section is pole stage mixed broadleaves that could provide a substantial source of firewood.  The species found here include beech, ash, chestnut, oak, birch, hazel and rowan. There is also a number of yew, an indicator of very old woodland.

The wood is sloping to the west and has small limestone cliffs providing fantastic viewing points and rustic places to camp well away from any disturbance. The cliffs are also a great scrambling faces for those vertical adventures. At the top of the hill the boundary is marked by a huge stone wall that once formed part of the estate boundary.   

White Cliff Wood would be the perfect choice for those wanting to own a larger woodland with opportunities for management, timber production, firewood production along with camping and/or other recreational activities.

This is a leasehold property with 931 years remaining. The rent has been paid in full for the whole term of the lease. ***Please note that the successful purchaser will have the option to purchase the lease from the freeholder in 2021 by separate negotiation for the price of £1,000 per acre.***

If It Were Mine

I would look to harvest the conifer at some point in the next 10 years. I would also create a camping spot at the foot of one of the cliffs. It could be a great place to position a beehive and sample the local nectar!

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