Description

Forming part of a wider forested area, Folly Plantation lies a short distance from the bustling village of Grayshott in East Hampshire.

This peaceful copse slopes gently west from the centre of the woodland and sits among fertile loam over sand soils. The canopy predominantly comprises mature sweet chestnut, Scots pine and occasional oak. A number of majestic beech flank both the southwest and eastern boundaries. Beneath, there is a lush, bushy shrub layer of holly, hawthorn, rhododendron and beech regeneration (known for its shade tolerance). An attractive broad ride gives good access along the eastern side of the copse, as well as far reaching rural views that can be enjoyed from the northern boundary.  

A diverse range of mammal and bird life are drawn to the serenity offered by the woodland, including deer (roe and fallow), badger, fox, field mouse, pipistrelle, sparrowhawk, little owl, buzzard and many tuneful songsters.

Folly Plantation offers a new owner plenty of scope to yield some fuel along with endless recreational opportunities. It benefits from good vehicular access suitable for a 2WD vehicle with a parking area at the northeast corner.

If It Were Mine

I would clear an area near to the northern boundary looking out over the lovely rural views to use as a location to occasionally camp during the warmer months.  Some of the sweet chestnut would make excellent firewood for the hearth and my camp fire.  

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