Description

Hurst Wood is situated within a serene wider gated Ancient Woodland, 4 miles east of the town of Maidstone in semi-rural Kent.

Located on gently sloping loamy clay soil, the mature canopy primarily consists of superb oak standards, ash, birch and hornbeam (several of which would make good fuel for a log burner). The shrub layer below is made up of hazel coppice, holly and thickets of regenerating ash. The lush ground layer is a delight during spring and summer with swathes of bluebells, dog’s mercury and wild garlic.

Towards the western boundary is an attractive open area just off the track that could be cleared for occasional BBQs and overnights during warmer months.

Woodland mammals regularly visit here; roe deer, badger, fox and common pipistrelle bats have all been observed. A diversity of bird life such as nightingale, woodlark, woodpecker, little owl and numerous acoustic songbirds also enjoy the tranquillity of this wood.

Hurst Wood benefits from good vehicular access along a hard track navigable all year round with a 2WD vehicle.

There is a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) on the woodland, this simply means that the agreement of the local Tree Officer must be obtained prior to and felling of trees.


If It Were Mine

Choosing an oak for milling is a very appealing notion, perhaps for some wood crafting at home. Some firewood for the hearth is a definite. I would also gather family and friends round a small fire for story telling in this lovely Ancient Woodland.

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