Description

Bouncers Wood is situated towards the southeast of a wider gated woodland known as Leapingbar Copse, located 6 miles northwest of Guildford in semi-rural Surrey.

The mature canopy is formed on gently sloping loamy clay soil and primarily comprises majestic Scots pine (one of only three native British conifers and a popular timber for construction), occasional beech, birch, sweet chestnut and oak. An area to the south was planted roughly 22 years ago consisting of cherry, oak, further Scots pine and larch; this is also a lovely secluded area ideal for occasional camping. Almost all of this woodland is covered by a Forestry Commission thinning licence; meaning a stem of the mature Scots pine could be selected to then mill onsite for a woodcraft project. The lush shrub below includes holly, younger beech and a display of colourful rhododendron.  

Any one of a number of spaces would be ideal for enjoying the woodland surroundings. Throughout warmer months a lovely scene is created over the ground layer with a mosaic of fern, bluebells, primrose, foxglove and lesser celandine, all embraced by our pollinators.

Many feathered visitors such as little owl, green woodpecker, pipit, yellowhammer, and many acoustic songsters enjoy the tranquillity of this location. A range of woodland mammals including deer - both muntjac and roe, badger, fox, rabbit and field mouse have all been identified.

Bouncers Wood is a delightful place for a hobby forester to enjoy with family and friends. Navigable all year round with a 2WD vehicle along a hard track, it benefits from good access and offers huge scope for recreation.

There is an Article 4 direction on the wider woodland including Bouncers Wood which means that permitted development rights which normally apply for any improvement to, or installation of, gates/fences/walls have been removed and full planning permission should be sought.


If It Were Mine

I would rake an area near the secluded south of the woodland for bushcraft activities. A number of the trees lend themselves perfectly to hang a hammock or two to absorb the surroundings in a gentle summer’s breeze. I would consider removing the tree shelters in some places too. Gathering firewood for the hearth is a must!
