Description

Wurzel Wood forms part of a larger gated woodland situated in rural West Sussex, not far from the historic market town of Horsham. Access is through a locked gate and along a track.

This mature woodland is located on gently sloping loam over clay soils with a canopy comprising of oak standards (some of these are of outstanding quality), hornbeam, ash, birch, poplar with a smattering of cherry. Close to the northeastern corner are a number of Lawson cypress trees, adding to the interesting blend of species here. Within the shrub layer beneath you will discover lush hazel coppice, hawthorn and holly with thickets of regenerating ash. Come spring and summer the ground layer is awash with colourful ground flora including bluebells, wood anemones, common dog violet and honeysuckle.

Towards the north is a small seasonal pond, perhaps making a nice spot to camp on occasion. Other features include some interesting topographical undulations and far reaching farmland views from the northern boundary; a hammock could be hung here for a new custodian to observe wildlife. An array of mammals have been spotted including roe and fallow deer, badger, hare and fox. Feathered visitors include hawk, owl, lesser redpoll and many tuneful songsters.

All in all, Wurzel Wood offers a wide variety of trees and features despite its size and is certainly well worth a visit!

If It Were Mine

I would consider choosing one of the magnificent oaks to yield some woodland produce - an oak table, bench and fuel come to mind with the right crafting skills. A trail camara or two would be mounted to capture woodland life. Overnight stays with the family in this peaceful spot is a must.

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