Description

Hoggs Wood is situated 11 miles from Guildford and forms part of a larger forested area close to the West Sussex border.

Located among fertile loamy clay soils on very gentle slopes, this copse contains an Ancient Woodland area towards the northeast, comprising majestic oak standards with hazel coppice and holly in the shrub layer below. This area also has a lovely meandering stream leading to a good sized pond. A ‘younger’ canopy planted approximately 50 to 60 years ago near the centre of the copse includes oak, cherry (a quality honey tinged timber with a silky grain, often used for veneer), sycamore, ash and birch. A smattering of mature Norway spruce also occupy this part of the woodland. Throughout spring, the ground layer is brimming with colourful flora including bluebells, primrose, foxglove, wood anemone and common dog-violet, creating a pretty wooded scene.

An open glade to the south comprises thickets of birch, bushes of yellow gorse, blackberry with a number of planted red beech, hornbeam and yew. In addition, a few wonderful mature Lawson Cypress and oak fringe a useful access track that flanks the bund along the western boundary.

A diversity of woodland creatures such as deer (fallow and roe), badger, fox, brown long-eared bat and adder have been spotted. Many feathered visitors including little owl, sparrowhawk, woodpecker and many harmonised songsters enjoy the tranquillity of this location.

Hoggs Wood is accessible with a 4WD vehicle all year round and a 2WD in all but the wettest of weather conditions.

If It Were Mine

I would certainly brash cut some trails through the glade and clear an area to overnight, looking up at a star filled night sky. Making a few hazel thumb sticks for hill walking may well happen. A BBQ area near the pond will be high on my list, as well as yielding some firewood for my log burner at home.

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