Description

Located 3 miles southwest of Tunbridge Wells in rural East Sussex, Bowyer Wood forms part of a larger forested area and represents a delightful wooded environment. In addition, Broadwater Warren Nature Reserve lies 200 metres to the south as the crow flies.

The mature canopy is situated on mostly level loams with gentle slopes in areas and chiefly consists of majestic Scots pine to the southeast and northwest with stems of birch towards the middle. Scots pine grows well in southeast England producing a clear narrow-ringed timber, suitable for joinery work. Many stems in this woodland are of excellent form with good girth. You will also find a number of Norway spruce, sweet chestnut, beech and oak, all adding a further element of variety and charm to the wood. In the shrub layer below, you will find lush holly and rowan. A new owner could mill a pine or two on site for woodwork projects.

Through spring and summer, random patches of primrose, foxglove and bracken decorate the ground layer. As well as a network of internal paths, there are some earth bunds that offer a sense of privacy to the woodland which would be ideal for occasional camping.

Regular woodland mammals visiting the wood include deer (both fallow and roe) wood mouse, hare, badger and fox. The feathered population includes sparrowhawk, owl, redpoll, sedge warbler and a range of other tuneful songsters.

If It Were Mine

Bowyer Wood offers plenty of recreational possibilities.  Learning bushcraft skills to make dens, selecting some of the beech for the burner at home, putting up bird boxes and trail cameras to record the woodland visitors along with camping and star gazing would keep me busy!

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