Description

Forming part of a tranquil wider woodland, Star Wood is three and a half miles from the market town of New Alresford in rural Hampshire and is in part Ancient Woodland. A track leads from the locked roadside gate to the woodland boundary.

Situated on gently sloping loam over chalk soils, the mature canopy consists of beech, oak, ash, cherry, birch, sycamore and field maple. Many of the beech stems are of an excellent standard and a new custodian could make use of the Forestry Commission thinning licence to cut a stem or two for an array of uses including timber for bushcraft, smoking chips and logs.  In the shrub layer below you will discover verdant hazel coppice to the west with holly, hawthorn scattered throughout. Warmer months see a colourful ground layer of bluebells, wood anemones, primrose and dog’s mercury.   

Central and eastern areas of the woodland have a lovely open understorey, offering scope for fun adventures and overnight stays. A large historic chalk pit towards the eastern boundary could serve as a place for responsible campfires and BBQs with friends and family.

Woodland mammals that have been spotted in the area include muntjac, roe and fallow deer, wood mouse, badger and fox. Treecreeper, owl, woodpecker, greenfinch and an assortment of melodious songsters make up the feathered populace in this peaceful location.


If It Were Mine

Lying deadwood beech would make a good stock of fuel for the hearth, possibly some of the larger hazel too. A belle tent for occasional over nights would look good. A rope swing would certainly work well, swooping out and over the deep chalk pit to the east - great for kids and grown-up kids alike!

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