Description

Harrison Wood lies on the bright southern side of a larger wooded area about five miles north of Sheffield and three miles east of the Peak District National Park. Junction 26 of the M1 is three miles to the northeast.

The wood lies on gentle slopes and is designated as a Plantation on an Ancient Woodland Site suggesting at least 400 years of woodland cover. Consequently there is a rich ground flora with patches of bluebells, and the wider woodland supports a diverse array of wildlife including badgers, foxes, songbirds, woodpeckers and buzzards.

The woodland is principally composed of Scots pine consolidated with minor elements of larch. Broadleaves such as oak, sycamore and beech are found at the field edges along with a smattering within the conifers. The conifers are in production phase and have been subject to a light-touch thinning regime in recent years - a practice which could be continued to produce a few nice saw-logs, some firewood and to benefit the retained stems.

A hard track leads to the wood via a locked gate and is navigable by 2WD cars with care, and the woodland floor is largely clear of entangling vegetation making for easy access to most areas.

This little wood encompasses a wide range of sylvan attributes in its modest acreage from providing a green refuge to offering the chance to practice a little forest-craft…and all at a modest price.


If It Were Mine

The wood could take a light thinning, with the conifers producing a small quantity of millwood and the broadleaves some nice firewood. I’d be inclined to favour the broadleaves with the long-term view of easing Harrison towards a native species woodland perhaps consolidated with a little planting in any canopy gaps that arise.

The vendor has enjoyed many nights here camping under the stars.

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