Description

Whisperers Wood is situated at the southwest corner of a larger woodland, 2 miles west of the village of Four Marks in rural Hampshire. About an hour and a half or so from London, the woodland is a magnificent spot to enjoy with family and friends and discover woodland life. 

Located on level loamy soils, the mature canopy chiefly consists of majestic larch, ash, oak and beech. Within the lush shrub beneath, there is hazel coppice (a very useful bushcraft material), regenerating ash, sycamore, birch, holly and occasional boxwood. A patchwork of snowdrop, primrose, fern and blackberry embellish the ground layer making a wonderful woodland scene from springtime through to autumn.

A number of open spaces within the woodland could make good spots for camping or even a place to hone bushcraft skills. The southeast side of the wood has far reaching rural views with occasional glimpses of a steam engine on the Mid Hants Railway ‘Watercress Line’.

Access is currently via the gate at point A on the plan; however additional access off the minor road along the western boundary could perhaps be achieved in the future with appropriate approval in place.

A range of feathered visitors such as greenfinch, treecreeper, woodpecker, owl and many harmonious songsters enjoy the tranquillity found here. Woodland mammals including muntjac, roe and fallow deer, yellow-necked mouse, badger and fox have all been spotted.

Whisperers Wood lies along a quiet country lane and represents a perfect place for a keen woodsman to enjoy with family and friends.

If It Were Mine

I would consider making a few thumb sticks out of hazel coppice for wandering through the woodland. A secluded camping area would almost certainly be cleared for the warmer times of the year, perhaps sleeping off the ground in a hammock. Some ash logs would definitely be yielded for fuel.  

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