Description

Sundrum Copse occupies gentle terrain amidst rolling Aryshire countryside half a mile north of the village of Coylton. It forms a part of the estate woods that once belonged to Sundrum Castle, visible just across the valley to the north. The A70 is a mile away giving easy access to Ayr (15 minutes), while Glasgow is an hour’s drive to the north.

The vast majority of the wood lies on smooth gently sloping ground with a north-westerly aspect. It overlooks farmland to the north and adjoins woodland to all other compass points.

The fertile soils support an array of broadleaves with oak and sycamore set amidst a mosaic of birch stems. Other species include rowan, ash and cherry. The understory is composed of hazel, light broadleaved regeneration and a few holly stems through which a number of paths meander giving good access to almost all areas.

Though not formally designated, Sundrum Copse has many of the hallmarks of ancient woodland with a rich ground flora of soft grasses, herbs, rushes and flowers. In spring it is ablaze with bluebells and scented with wild garlic and honeysuckle.

Access from the public road is via an unsurfaced track.

There is no urgent management required, but there’s plenty of scope to gently modify the stands. There’s also a wealth of conservation and recreational opportunities in this most attractive property.

If It Were Mine

I’d consider upgrading the main track from the public road to facilitate access and the extraction of woodland produce.

Some areas would benefit from a light thinning which would yield plenty of firewood as well as opening up small coupes for regeneration and enrichment planting.

I’d also put up quite a few bird boxes of different specifications to attract a range of woodland birds.
