Description

Cackle Wood is part of a larger tranquil woodland in rural East Sussex, and is a short distance from the village of Broad Oak, with its pub, bakery and convenience store.  Access into the woodland is through a gate and along a track. 

Located mostly on westerly facing sloping loamy clay soils, its mature canopy comprises majestic oak standards, sweet chestnut, hornbeam, birch, ash, cherry and the sporadic willow. Within the shrub layer below you will notice clusters of lush holly, hazel coppice, younger hornbeam and birch; the hornbeam and birch make good fuel for the hearth. When spring and summer arrive the ground layer is awash with Ancient Woodland indicators that include bluebells, wood anemones, herb-Robert, honeysuckle, dog’s mercury and primrose. Eagle fern and lady fern are also prolific here.

Many areas throughout this woodland would be ideally suited for bushcraft, star gazing and camping. A weekend forester would also be able to yield a stem of oak for a multitude of uses - joinery and furniture come to mind. This could be milled on site once felled.

There is a grassy ride beneath a power line to the east where deer (roe, muntjac and fallow) are often spotted basking in the sun. Other mammals known to inhabit the area include 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

Beehives would likely work well here, perhaps toward the east of the woodland were it is more open. I would definitely arrange overnight stays with the family, perhaps using an old parachute between trees as a shelter to create an open-air camp! Fuel gathering for a small campfire and my log burner at home would certainly be high on the list.

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