Description

Sweyne Wood is a wonderfully well managed oak and Scots pine woodland found in the centre of the wider Bella Wood. Located between the towns of Barnburgh and Hickleton, access is off Hickelton Road and benefits from a right of way along a well-managed farm track which then transitions to an easily traversable stone track within the woodland.

The woodland is technically mixed broadleaf due to its variety of species; however it is dominated by oak and Scots pine. These have been well managed over the years and will produce some high quality timber when they reach the right age or size. Other species found growing in Sweyne Wood are ash, sycamore, holly and the occasional hazel too. These are predominately self-seeded and in the most part only a few metres tall but add a nice mix to the woodland and could be encouraged with the right management activity.

The topography of the woodland is mixed, the outer edges are for the most part gentle slopes leading down to the access track but the middle of the woodland is a mostly flat ‘hilltop’. There are a few animal tracks crossing the site and these have been appropriated over the years by two legged (human!) visitors and which could be improved to make some useful steps to the top.

Woodland residents include grey squirrels and songbirds. Deer are also believed to be an occasional visitor, although in quite low numbers.

Sweyne Wood is a great opportunity to purchase stunning mixed broadleaf woodland in a well sheltered location, offering both amenity and conservation value but with the long term potential of harvesting some oak or pine in years to come.

If It Were Mine

There is no immediate need to do anything, so I would take the opportunity to enjoy the woodland, perhaps camping, stargazing, bird watching, or maybe if feeling so inclined, I could fell a tree for some firewood. Other than that, I would take the opportunity to spend some time in the woodland, perhaps taking advantage of the peaceful location to improve my meditation teqhnique.

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