Description
Webb Wood is part of a wider woodland lying 5.5 miles southeast of the village of Robertsbridge in rural East Sussex and is accessed via a locked gate and along a track.
Situated amongst gently sloping loamy clay soils, the canopy includes majestic oak standards, hornbeam, ash, birch and poplar. A new owner could make use of the current Forestry Commission thinning licence to yield some of the hornbeam for fuel for the home hearth. Hazel coppice, hawthorn and the occasional holly can be found in the shrub layer below. During the warmer months, the ground is carpeted with colourful woodland flora - patches of bluebell, wood anemones, primrose, foxglove and wild garlic create a lovely scene.
Far reaching views are enjoyed from the northern boundary, and a seasonal stream flanks part of the western boundary. Any number of spaces could be cleared to set up a camping area for occasional overnight stays during the summer.
Feathered visitors are known to include green woodpecker, owl, buzzard, greenfinch and countless harmonious songbirds. Muntjac, roe and fallow deer, wood mouse, badger, fox and hare have all been spotted by the patient observer.
If It Were Mine
Bushcraft activities would work well here; there is a good variety of natural resources to hand. Nights under the stars is a given. Watching deer populations weave through the trees is a wonderful sight - the camera and tripod could well be set up in anticipation!
