Description

Ford Copse lies adjacent to a quiet country road 3 miles north of the historic market town of Biggar in the Scottish Borders. Edinburgh and Glasgow are both about an hour’s drive. The surrounding countryside is one of gently rolling pastureland rising to heather-clad hills in the further distance.

Ford was originally planted for Christmas trees in the mid 1990s, but the young crop was never harvested. The result has developed into a well-stocked belt of mixed conifers dominated by Norway spruce supplemented with elements of Noble fir and Scots pine which lend a pleasing diversity of texture and colour. The roadside edge is predominantly trimmed beech and a few other species are found across the site including sycamore, hawthorn, birch and willow.

The wood occupies gently sloping ground with a northerly aspect and enjoys wide panoramic views east and west over adjacent fields (alive with geese when we visited). A small ditch flows down the west side.

Ford Copse fronts a minor public road on its east boundary and there is also access over the hard track on the north side which attaches to the property.

This pocket wood is the ideal launch-pad for affordable woodland ownership with a varied maturing crop, good access and easy terrain amidst most attractive scenery.


If It Were Mine

Cutting a central ride (with very gentle thinning adjacent) would bring more light into the woodland, enhance access and feed the log store. A small hard-standing area by the track on the north edge for parking and processing would also be useful.

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