Description

Northbeck Wood is in a quiet location in rural East Sussex, seven miles from the coastal town of Hastings. Deep fertile clay soils offer fine growing conditions for oak, as evidenced by the well-established trees here that were planted around 20 years ago on agricultural land. There is also a diverse mix of other tree species including crab apple, ash, birch, field maple and damson to name a few.

There are pleasing views northwards of open fields and an all-year stream at the north boundary, with fern covered banks and fringed by mature hornbeam, ash and oak trees. There are signs of an old management track following the inside of the north boundary along with deer and badger tracks throughout. It is not unusual to see a small herd of deer roaming the wood or hear birdsong permeating the peaceful surroundings.

The upper part includes a newly surfaced access track which is suitable for 2WD vehicles. This is useful for ongoing management of the wood and includes a small turning area. Northbeck, despite being relatively young in age has the potential to grow in to a fine mature woodland with careful management. Offering a diversity of species and in a delightful location this wood is a pleasure to behold.

If It Were Mine

I would remove the protection shelters from the well-established trees and perhaps carry out some formative pruning of the oaks. It would be an idea to build a path to an area with views of the stream culminating in a bench. A perfect spot for a family picnic or wild camping expedition.
