Description

Situated 11 miles from Guildford, Flower Wood is a charming copse forming part of a larger gated woodland close to the West Sussex border.

Planted approximately 50 to 60 years ago, this tranquil wood is located on fertile level loamy clay soils with a canopy of majestic oak, cherry (a good quality light demanding species with a honey coloured timber and silky grain, often used for veneer), sycamore, ash, birch and occasional Norway spruce, a useful fuel for a log burner. The lush shrub layer beneath consists of hazel coppice, hawthorn and regenerating ash thickets. Come spring, the ground layer is brimming with colourful flora including bluebells, primrose, wood anemone and common dog-violet, creating a lovely woodland scene amongst the trees. Flanking its access track to the west is an earth bank awash with bluebell with some bushy coppiced hazel stools on top.

Many feathered visitors, such as little owl, sparrowhawk, woodpecker and many tuneful songbirds also enjoy the tranquillity of this location. A variety of woodland creatures including deer - both fallow and roe, badger, fox, brown long-eared bat and adder have been spotted.

Towards the northwest corner, a grassy area looking out across farmland would make a good spot to occasionally pitch a tent. The eastern boundary is defined by an earth bund, giving a nice sense of privacy.  

Flower Wood is navigable with a 4WD vehicle all year round and a 2WD in all but the wettest of weather.

If It Were Mine

Fashioning some hazel thumb sticks is a must, perhaps combined with summer evenings occasionally overnighting by a small fire. Strimming the grassy area at the northwest corner would also feature in my plans. I would also consider yielding some firewood for the hearth during winter.  

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