Description

Wagmire Wood forms part of a larger woodland in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in rural East Sussex and is situated a short distance from Broad Oak village. Access is through a locked gate and along a track.

Located over gently sloping loamy clay soils, the woodland’s lofty canopy mainly comprises majestic standards of oak, sweet chestnut, hornbeam, birch, ash and sporadic cherry, providing a new owner with lots of options for a stock of logs for the home hearth. Within the shrub below there is hazel coppice, hawthorn, holly and younger birch stems. Additionally, there are areas with sweet chestnut stools now roughly at thicket stage, which could be earmarked for a fuel source in years to come. During warmer months the ground layer is brought to life with Ancient Woodland indicators such as bluebell, wood anemone, primrose and fragrant climbing honeysuckle, all savoured by our essential pollinators. Fern is also plentiful - both eagle fern and hard fern are a common sight.

Flanking the western boundary is a gentle seasonal stream providing nourishment for wildlife. There are many good spots throughout the woodland that would be perfect for camping, along with places to mill timber on-site if desired.

The mammal population includes deer (roe, muntjac and fallow) badger, hare, wood mouse and fox. Owl, buzzard, skylark, green woodpecker, lesser redpoll and numerous songsters have also been identified.

If It Were Mine

Hanging a hammock between two sturdy trees, reading a book and quietly observing woodland life sounds like a good plan! With the density of the undergrowth, there is plenty of firewood to harvest. I might consider selecting an oak for some projects such as a bench, fence posts and maybe even a tabletop.

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