Description

Situated 6 miles west of Guildford in semi-rural Surrey, Waddler Wood forms part of a larger gated forested area and embodies a picturesque wooded environment. Access is through a secured gate and along a stone track.  

The mature canopy is located on level fertile sandy loams and chiefly consists of majestic Scots pine. This species is particularly well matched to woodland in the southeast of England and creates a clear narrow-ringed timber, useful for joinery work. Numerous stems in this woodland are of excellent form with good girth. A mix of broadleaves towards the northwestern boundary including sweet chestnut, oak and birch add a further dimension to the wood. In the shrub layer below is a collage of lush colourful rhododendron, young birch and holly. A new owner could certainly consider milling a pine or two for carpentry projects, making use of the Forestry Commission thinning licence currently in place. 

Throughout spring, random patches of primrose, foxglove and flowering heather decorate the ground layer; some heather could be picked and used as a botanical for home infused gin. Along the northwest boundary are the vestiges of a historic military track from nearby Pirbright Barracks, this was likely to have been employed for hauling heavy munitions. 

Regular woodland visitors include deer – both muntjac and roe - field mouse, hare, badger, fox, little owl, redpoll, woodpecker and a range of harmonious songsters.

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

There are numerous spots within Waddler Wood that would be ideal for camping and gazing at the stars through the canopy. An easy project would be to take some logs for the hearth at home.  I would definitely put up a few bird boxes and take note of the visitors to the wood.

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