Description

Big Beech Wood is a spectacular mixed broadleaf woodland set in peaceful rural South Yorkshire. It is a predominantly level site situated approximately 130 metres above sea level, surrounded by arable fields and woodland.

The nearby village of Thorpe Salvin is a short walk away, with its friendly village pub serving traditional home cooked meals. Kiveton Park railway station is around 1 ¼ miles away, with direct links to Sheffield which is only around ten miles away.

A securely gated and surfaced access track brings you to the woodland and follows the northern boundary. Heading south is a useful, wide ride which links up with another soft track. This convenient access helps facilitate woodland management. The current owners have carefully thinned around a quarter of the wood.

To the centre of the property is an interesting ground formation, possibly historic earthworks.

This ancient woodland site was replanted around 40 years ago, mainly with beech thriving on the fertile magnesium limestone soils. Other tree species include Scots pine, ash, sycamore, birch and several good quality and fruiting sweet chestnut. Holly grows in the understorey and the base rich ancient soils support a host of wildflowers and ferns. In spring, a carpet of bluebells adorns the woodland floor.

Of particular note is the wood’s rich biodiversity; a chance hare or mouse can be seen, along with numerous birds including the grey partridge, woodcock, woodpecker, tree sparrow, buzzard and even a shy goshawk. Woodland mammals include badgers, an occasional fox and roe deer. There is a rustic hide, which with some maintenance could be used to observe the wildlife. A woodland such as this offers a range of opportunities for activities such as camping and woodland crafts. Big Beech Wood would be a great investment for anyone with a passion for the outdoors.


If It Were Mine

I would carefully continue the thinning works already completed by the current owners, this would certainly yield a decent quantity of sustainable timber. I would also encourage the wildlife by installing some bird and bat boxes.

Please be aware certain woodland management activities may require a licence or permissions.
