Description

Situated at the end of a private track within a wider Ancient Woodland, Little Snoring is on the fringes of the attractive village of Lamberhurst on the frontier of Kent and East Sussex.

Located predominantly on level loamy clay soils that gently undulate to the south, the mature canopy comprises majestic oak standards, sweet chestnut coppice, ash, poplar, birch and Scots pine. Underneath, there is a lush shrub layer of hazel coppice (a great and plentiful material for bushcraft), holly, hornbeam, and sycamore. Mosaics of bluebell, primrose, fern, bracken and blackberry decorate the ground layer, producing a quintessential woodland scene during spring and summer.

A seasonal stream meanders towards the southeast, creating a good habitat for wildlife. A few attractive hollows here also make for naturally secluded camping spots. In addition, far reaching views are enjoyed from most of the eastern boundary.  

A variety of feathered visitors such as greenfinch, long eared owl, treecreeper, woodpecker and countless acoustic songsters revel in the serenity of this wood. Woodland mammals include deer (muntjac, roe and fallow), yellow-necked mouse, badger, hare and fox.

Benefiting from vehicular access, Little Snoring is navigable along an unsurfaced track suitable for light 4WD vehicle all year round and a 2WD car in drier months.

If It Were Mine

A secluded low-key space to camp occasionally would be cleared towards the southern side of this woodland; lovely on a warm summer’s eve! I would consider some ash and sweet chestnut logs to season for the hearth. A trail camera or two would be a great idea. Perhaps a light prune in areas wouldn’t go amiss to encourage supressed trees.

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