Description

Roe Wood forms part of a wider Ancient Woodland known as Warren Wood, previously part of the Leeds Castle Estate and lies a short drive east of Maidstone in semi-rural Kent.

Located on very gentle slopes and standing on loam over clay soils, the wood primarily consists of mature ash coppice and majestic oak standards with a lush hazel coppice shrub layer below. A number of mature birch are also present throughout the copse. Making use of the Forestry Commission thinning licence currently in place, both the birch and some carefully selected thinned ash could yield a useful fuel stock for a new owner. Wild flowers cover the ground layer in the warmer months, including carpets of bluebell (an Ancient Woodland indicator!), red campion, primrose and wood anemone.

Feathered visitors are abundant; the call of buzzards and the sound of eager woodpeckers can be  heard as well as many harmonious songsters echoing through the tree stems. A diverse mixture of wildlife roam amongst the lush hazel, including fallow deer, badger, common dormouse, adder and the occasional frog. 

Pleasant rural views can be enjoyed from the northeast boundary, a discreet area could be cleared here for bush craft and camp fires. Roe Wood is serviced by a hard surfaced track navigable with a 2WD car.

If It Were Mine

Being keen on bush craft, I would make good use of the hazel coppice possibly fashioning walking canes. The ash would also make good campfire fuel when overnighting at the woodland quietly observing nocturnal visitors.
