Description

Pike Wood stands in a larger commercially managed forest on the edge of Scunthorpe next to the village of Broughton a few minutes’ drive from the M180.

A good hard track leads from the council road to a locked barrier. From here, the track is unsurfaced but firm, leading to the woodland's edge and continuing along the western boundary of Pike Wood. The track connects with various ‘racks’ that allowed access into the wood to manage the trees.

The woodland is level with fertile soil up to a metre depth that sits on a sub of loose limestone making the woodland free draining. The ground flora in this part includes a number of ferns, such as the scaly male, hard shield and bracken. The closed canopy casts a shadow over the vegetation but you will find a variety of wildflowers including primroses, violets, early purple orchid and red campion, followed by dog’s mercury with grasses on the minor tracks.

The trees in Pike Wood are pole stage ash and sycamore which present the opportunity to produce some very good-sized firewood that would be easy to harvest and process. There is also evidence of previous hazel coppicing which the present owners have begun to re-establish, providing local hedge layers with stakes and binders.  

A number of animal tracks can be seen in places, notably from roe and muntjac deer but also badgers. Many birds such as chiffchaff, owl and kestrel frequent the woodland.


If It Were Mine

Pike Wood has good access with trees at a manageable size, perfect for those interested in amenity woodland and crafts. Clearing a few areas would make a great spot for watching wildlife or perhaps enjoying a family picnic or wild camping expedition.

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