Description

A short distance from the village of Robertsbridge, Brancaster Wood is part of a wider gated woodland in a rural Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Established on gentle slopes, its mature canopy is founded on loam over clay soils and comprises majestic Norway spruce towards the north with ash, oak, hornbeam, birch and poplar encompassing the majority of the south and west. Poplar was widely grown in the 50s and 60s to service the match and horticultural veneer markets but can also be used for joinery. Beneath in the shrub layer you will find hazel coppice and hawthorn. A new owner could yield some of the spruce and poplar for carpentry projects at home using the existing Forestry Commission thinning licence. Throughout spring and summer, the ground layer is awash with bluebells, primrose and foxglove as well as year-round vegetation such as fern and rush.

The woodland is flanked by meandering streams along both its western and north western boundaries; there are numerous areas both here and throughout that could be cleared for an occasional summer BBQ in warmer months.

Many woodland mammals hide amongst the rushes and stems including muntjac, roe and fallow deer, wood mouse, badger and fox. A range of feathered visitors such as green woodpecker, owl, buzzard, greenfinch and numerous acoustic songbirds relish the harmony found here.

Brancaster Wood is navigable year-round with a 2WD car along a stone track and offers huge opportunity for a family keen to immerse into nature and woodland life.

If It Were Mine

Nature spotting,  occasional overnight camping - this is a great spot to learn about woodland life with friends and family. One could consider a hammock between a pair of trees and relaxing with a book. Some logs would certainly be a priority to warm my home in cooler weather.
