Description

Situated in a rural location, Wobbly Wood is part of a wider woodland on the fringes of Lamberhurst village, 7 miles east of Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Mostly located on level loamy clay soils, the mature canopy consists of superb oak standards (a number of which are of excellent quality), sweet chestnut, ash and birch. In the shrub layer below is a lush mix of hazel coppice, holly and hawthorn. In addition, there are some younger stems of sweet chestnut coppice and birch to the southeast; a new owner could enhance this area for a future fuel source aided by the Forestry Commission thinning licence currently in place. Ribbons of bluebell, wood anemone, primrose, bracken and blackberry create an elegant ground layer during warmer months, particularly enjoyable come spring!

Any number of open spaces could be cleared, creating wonderful opportunities for a new owner to camp occasionally, gazing at the stars next to a discreet fire.  

Woodland creatures including muntjac, roe and fallow deer, wood mouse, badger and fox have all been identified making their way through the stems. A variety of feathered visitors namely greenfinch, woodpecker, treecreeper, long eared owl and innumerable acoustic songsters enjoy the tranquillity on offer here.

Wobbly Wood is a haven for an enthusiastic family keen on woodland life. It is accessed along an unsurfaced track suitable for a light 4WD vehicle year-round and a 2WD car in drier months.


If It Were Mine

I would consider cutting an oak as this is a superb material to work with; a new kitchen table and perhaps a bench come to mind. I would consider some logs from a chestnut or two. Family camping would be on the list too. What a place to sit quietly and absorb woodland life.
