Description

Situated on the edge of Lamberhurst village, Thumpers is encompassed by a wider Ancient Woodland on the Kent and Sussex borders.

Located on level loamy clays, its mature canopy comprises majestic oak standards (some of which are of superb quality), sweet chestnut coppice, ash, birch, hornbeam and occasional cherry. In the shrub layer below is a mix of lush hazel, hawthorn, sycamore and holly. A new owner could certainly consider a stem or two of chestnut for logs, making use of the current Forestry Commission thinning licence. During warmer months a patchwork of woodland flora including bluebell, wood anemone, foxglove and primrose embellish the ground layer, all enjoyed by our essential pollinators.     

Amongst the stems are a number of areas that if cleared would make good spots to camp occasionally, or perhaps even a BBQ from time to time during summer. A swing could be hung from a sturdy oak limb.

Woodland mammals frequently visit including badger, wood mouse, hare, fox, muntjac and roe deer. Feathered creatures include greenfinch, long eared owl, tree creeper, woodpecker and a variety of acoustic songsters.

Thumpers can be accessed along an unsurfaced track navigable with a light 4WD all year round and a 2WD car in drier months.

If It Were Mine

This is a lovely place to unwind and sit quietly observing the natural environment. I would learn some bushcraft skills; there is ample material to hand such as hazel, a versatile and flexible wood for this fun activity. Firewood would certainly be yielded.
