Description

Located in rural Hampshire, Buffers Wood lies 2 miles west of the village of Four Marks and is part of a wider wooded area and is accessed along a track.

Situated on level loamy soil, the mature canopy comprises majestic larch, ash, oak and beech. The shrub layer below includes lush hazel coppice (ideal for rustic walking thumbsticks and home garden projects), hawthorn, sycamore, sweet chestnut and occasional holly. Come spring and summer, patches of bluebell, primrose and foxglove decorate the ground layer creating a lovely woodland scene. There is a Forestry Commission felling licence in place for the larch, this could give an owner a modest amount of logs if desired.

Any number of the open areas amongst the stems would make a lovely peaceful spot to sit and observe wildlife, perhaps even occasional camping during the warmer months. 

Woodland mammal residents include muntjac, roe and fallow deer, wood mouse, badger and fox. A multitude of feathered visitors such as treecreeper, owl, woodpecker, greenfinch and many tuneful songsters delight in the serenity of this area.


If It Were Mine

I would clear a couple of locations to camp for a night or two in the summer months. This is a wonderful spot to sit quietly and observe woodland life, perhaps relaxing in a hammock. I would learn some bushcraft skills making use of the endless material to hand. Some of the ash will make good logs for my hearth at home.

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