Description

Queens Wood lies at the end of a private track within a wider Ancient Woodland on the fringes of the attractive village of Lamberhurst in rural Kent.

Located predominantly on level loamy clay soils, the mature canopy consists of outstanding oak standards, majestic sweet chestnut coppice, birch and ash. Below, a shrub layer comprises hazel coppice (great for whittling walking thumb sticks), holly, hornbeam, and sycamore. Swathes of bluebell, primrose, foxglove, fern, bracken and blackberry embellish the ground layer, making a lovely woodland scene during spring, and a resource for our essential pollinators.

A large open grassy ride towards the northwest provides an excellent open area that could be used for numerous woodland activities such as bush craft or occasional milling of timber. A new owner could spend a few nights star gazing and camping here too. In addition, a seasonal stream runs through part of the northwest corner, creating a lush habitat for wildlife. Far reaching views are also enjoyed from the eastern boundary.  

Woodland mammals include muntjac, roe and fallow deer, yellow-necked mouse, badger, hare and fox. A range of feathered guests such as long eared owl, treecreeper, greenfinch, woodpecker and many harmonious songsters revel in the peacefulness of this wood.

Queens Wood is accessed along an unsurfaced track navigable with a light 4WD vehicle all year round and a 2WD car in drier months. This woodland would be a perfect place for a keen woodsman or equally a family wanting to enjoy nature at is finest.

If It Were Mine

I would firstly mow the grassy ride during the summer months for a lovely overnight location to experience with friends and family. A hammock or two would be a nice addition from which to enjoy my surroundings. Sweet chestnut makes an excellent fuel for the hearth; I would consider selecting one to yield some logs. 

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