Description

Located a short distance south east of the village of Staplecross in rural East Sussex, Putters Wood is situated within a secure wider gated woodland, one of few places in the south of England out of earshot of the drone of traffic.

Located predominantly on gently sloping loamy clay soil and mostly planted approximately 25 years ago, the maturing canopy to the west primarily consists of sweet chestnut, oak, birch and sycamore.  Some of these would make good fuel for a log burner, utilising the existing Forestry Commission thinning licence. The lush shrub layer below is made up of hazel coppice and bushy hawthorn. The southern end of the copse has a lovely mature canopy of hornbeam, oak, sweet chestnut, yew and ash. A notable species also in this location is black locust, known for its extremely strong durability.

The ground layer comes to life during spring and summer with ribbons of bluebells, wood anemone, dog’s mercury and foxglove.

A length of the southern boundary is flanked by a meandering seasonal stream. This would be a lovely place to relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the woodland. Many aspects of Putters Wood enjoy far reaching farmland views  

A number of woodland mammals have been observed including both muntjac and roe deer, fox and badger. A diversity of bird life such as owl, long-tailed tit, woodpecker, buzzard and numerous acoustic songbirds pass through Putters Wood.

Offering a variety of recreational opportunities, this woodland benefits from good vehicular access along a hard track navigable all year round with a 2WD vehicle.

If It Were Mine

I would rake an area near the stream for bushcraft activities. A number of the trees lend themselves perfectly to hang a hammock to absorb my surroundings. Gathering some firewood for the home hearth is a must too.
