Description

Rutland Wood is a very private mature broadleaf woodland found in an easily accessible location near to the medieval village of Goldthorpe. Access is along a recently upgraded stone track suitable for 2WD vehicles all year round. The woodland gently slopes down to a stream that runs along the western perimeter. The soils are nice and fertile, comprising of deep brown earth with a bit of sand and clay.

The woodland consists of a variety of mixed broadleaves, primarily mature sycamore and beech with the occasional mature ash and oak trees. Hazel can be found growing up on the edges of the woodland near the agricultural fields.  Under the canopy of the mature trees there are plenty of hazel, ash and sycamore saplings and there are willow near the water sources.

There is a gently flowing stream that runs through the woodland, which forms two lovely ponds towards the southwest corner. This is quite a lovely feature and is sure to give a lot of pleasure to a new owner.

Rutland Wood is full of birds and animals alike, a myriad of songbirds have been seen and heard as well as a few buzzards circling overheard. Squirrels have been spotted scampering among the branches and signs of badger and foxes have also been noted on site. A small population of roe deer are believed to be in the area using the woodland to forage for food and shelter.

If It Were Mine

I would look at felling some of the trees in and around the pond area to create a more open space. A bench by the pond or nearby would make a nice spot to enjoy the tranquillity of the woodland, or perhaps build a campfire and pitch a tent.

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