Description

Alresford Wood forms part of a larger woodland known as Whites Wood and is located three and a half miles from the market town of New Alresford in rural Hampshire.  Access is via a locked gate and along a track.

Located mostly on level loam over chalk soils with gentle undulations, the mature canopy comprises  lofty beech, oak, ash, cherry, birch, sycamore and field maple. A number of the beech and oak stems are of outstanding quality; a new owner may select one for woodwork projects, making use of the Forestry Commission thinning licence in place. Towards the west you will find lush hazel coppice and holly, this area is classified as Ancient Woodland. Come spring and summer the ground layer is awash with colourful flora, notably patches of bluebell, wood anemones, primrose and dog’s mercury. 

Much of the woodland has an attractive open understorey offering scope for bushcraft activities and overnight stays with friends and family. Far reaching rural views are enjoyed from the eastern boundary.

Treecreeper, owl, woodpecker, greenfinch and a variety of friendly acoustic songbirds make up the feathered populace in this serene area. Woodland mammals include muntjac, roe and fallow deer, hare, wood mouse, badger and fox.

If It Were Mine

I would consider yielding and milling a few of the ash for logs on site - there is plenty of room for this here. Camping around a fire and some late-night story telling would be the perfect way to spend time with family and friends.

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