Description

Located a short distance southwest of the village of Broad Oak, Stockland Wood is part of a peaceful wider woodland in rural East Sussex and is accessed along a track. 

Situated amongst gently sloping loam over clay soils, the mature canopy includes majestic oak standards, sweet chestnut, hornbeam, birch, ash, cherry and the occasional willow. Within the shrub layer below you will discover clumps of holly, hazel coppice, younger hornbeam and birch; the latter two of which could provide a useful source of fuel. During warmer times of the year Ancient Woodland indicators include ribbons of bluebells, wood anemones, herb-Robert, honeysuckle, dog’s mercury and primrose. Eagle fern and lady fern are also rich in many areas.

Towards the south and southwestern boundary are open rides that would make an ideal spot to hone one’s bushcraft skills once cleared. Deer (roe, muntjac and fallow) can often be spotted basking here in the sun. Far reaching farmland views are enjoyed from the eastern boundary – an ideal location to perhaps set up a hammock and relax!

Other mammals known to inhabit the area include wild boar, badger, hare, wood mouse, fox and squirrel. Feathered guests include owl, buzzard, skylark, green woodpecker, lesser redpoll and countless warbling songbirds.

If It Were Mine

Some of the hornbeam could be extracted for the log burner at home. With the appropriate permissions in place, I would think about a simple structure to season logs and store some tools. Birdboxes on trees would further enhance the abundant birdlife here. A hobby apiarist might like to install a hive or two amongst the trees.

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