Description

Squidgy Wood is surrounded by a wider forested area known as Leapingbar Copse, 6 miles northwest of Guildford.

The mature canopy formed on level loam over clay soils comprises magnificent Scots pine with mixed broadleaves along its southern boundary including beech and oak. A number of the Scots pine could be felled and milled onsite using the current Forestry Commission thinning licence. The shrub layer below is made up of stems of established birch and a patchwork of colourful rhododendron, looking especially lovely during spring and summer. Woodland flora include bluebell, foxglove, primrose and fern, all playing host to buzzing pollinators in the warmer months.

Any number of the open spaces would make great spots for occasional camping. In addition, a ride along the south of the wood offers good access for light woodland jobs.

Abundant feathered visitors seek sanctuary among the trees, including little owl, green woodpecker, pipit, yellowhammer and many harmonious songsters. A variety of woodland creatures including deer - both muntjac and roe - fox, badger, hare and wood mouse have all been spotted.

A fantastic place for a weekend woodsman with a young family, Squidgy Wood offers numerous recreational opportunities and is navigable year-round with a 2WD car.

There is an Article 4 direction on the wider woodland including Squidgy 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

Big enough to lose oneself in, yet small enough to manage, there is vast scope for camping and bushcraft with friends and family. The bushy rhododendron gives a nice sense of privacy and the opportunity to take a break out of sight amongst the stems. Some firewood could be yielded for a log burner.
