Description

Tale Wood is a delightful broadleaf copse and forms part of a wider woodland, located just southeast of the small village of Staplecross in rural East Sussex. 

This quiet woodland is situated on loam over clay soils that slope gently towards the southern boundary, flanked by an attractive open grass ride. The east of the copse is made up of a semi-mature canopy of birch (a fast-growing pioneer species which produces quality timber, a great craft wood for almost any woodworking project) oak, hornbeam and occasional sweet chestnut.

The younger area to the west, planted approximately 25 years ago, comprises establishing oak, hornbeam, field maple, crab apple, hawthorn, hazel, beech and birch. A lush ground layer of grasses (a haven for butterflies and insects such as blue-tailed damselfly) carpet much of the woodland. Other seasonal ground flora includes foxglove, primrose, rushes and blackberry.

Wildlife visitors are enticed by the serenity of the wood; these include deer (muntjac and roe), badger, woodpecker, buzzard, long-tailed tit, sparrow hawk and numerous songsters. 

A convenient soft track runs south along the east boundary and meets with the southern ride, giving superb access to the woodland. These would be useful for a new owner to extract a little firewood.

Tale Wood is one of few locations in the south of England out of earshot of the drone of traffic and offers complete tranquillity. The wood has good access along a hard-surfaced track easily navigable with a 2WD car.


If It Were Mine

I would firstly remove the tree shelters then consider a simple management programme to further enhance this lovely woodland. I would certainly mow a number of the grassy locations for occasional overnighting. Some home-made crab apple jelly is a must after a good forage from the trees!
