Description
Situated 5.5 miles southeast of the village of Robertsbridge in rural East Sussex, Yew Corner is part of a larger woodland and is accessed through a locked steel gate and along a stone track.
Located among gently sloping loam over clay soils, the canopy contains majestic oak, hornbeam, ash, birch and poplar - a fast-growing broadleaf species with a good strength to weight ratio, sometimes used as flooring around hearths. A new custodian could certainly make use of the Forestry Commission thinning licence currently in place to yield some of the hornbeam for logs. Within the shrub layer underneath you will find yew, hazel coppice, hawthorn and occasional holly. The ground layer is brimming with colourful woodland flora during spring and summer - patches of bluebell, wood anemones, primrose, foxglove, wild garlic and dog’s mercury create a delightful woodland scene.
Areas could be cleared to set up a spot to practice bushcraft by day, followed by overnight camping stays during the warmer months. Far reaching views are enjoyed from part of the northern boundary – a perfect place to hang a hammock and look out.
Muntjac, roe and fallow deer, wood mouse, badger, fox and hare have all been spotted by the patient observer. Feathered guests to this tranquil setting include green woodpecker, owl, buzzard, greenfinch and countless harmonious songbirds.
If It Were Mine
The hornbeam and ash stems already lying on the ground would make a good start to my fuel stock in readiness for winters to come. Whilst I familiarised myself with my woodland I would put up a few trail cameras to observe the wildlife and invite friends and family to a BBQ or two!
