Description

Situated in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Cherryfield is a stunning woodland encompassing a gently sloping east facing bank near to the village of Staplecross, East Sussex.

Two sides are bordered by arable fields fringed with tall ash, hornbeam, sycamore and beech, with hawthorn shrubs sheltering the western edges giving the woodland a very private and secluded nature.

Access to the wood is along a hard-surfaced track that follows the west boundary, with a useful band of adjacent open ground. The north part is dominated by vigorously growing oak and Scots pine planted some 20 years ago. Heavy clay rich soils at Cherryfield offer good tree growing conditions, as evidenced by the widely spaced cherry trees further south. Here, the open spaces provide a delightful parkland milieu, perfect for camping or recreational activities.

Other tree species include rowan, field maple, sweet chestnut and blackthorn. In spring, the hawthorn and cherry blossom are delightful. There may also be a crop of cherries later in the year if the birds don’t take them all!

The deer population is extensive, with regular sightings of roe and muntjac. The wider wood, of which Cherryfield is part, has signs of wild boar and badger. Sparrow hawks, kestrels and songbirds such as the nightingale and chiffchaff are known to the region. To the southwest corner is a disused access to the surrounding fields with signs of former management to be seen in places.

With continued maintenance and management, Cherryfield has a great deal to offer for both amenity and light silviculture, in an idyllic location, yet easily accessible from much of the southeast.

If It Were Mine

I would carefully prune the young oaks to promote good form, perhaps gently thinning where required and remove protection shelters. Management of the meadow area could include encouragement of wildflowers.

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