Description

Knights Wood is a particularly well managed oak woodland positioned providing a wonderful view of the valley and the town of Knighton. A five minute drive from the town this amenity woodland is almost pure sessile oak with the occasional ash, sycamore, rowan and birch.

To manage a woodland such as this requires a delicate and sympathetic approach which in this case has resulted in a very fine stand of well-spaced trees. This upland oak woodland habitat has an undisturbed feel, abundant with flora including bilberry, ferns and bluebells that provide a colourful display of flowers in the spring and summer. Such a rich ecology supports distinct breeding birds such as pied flycatcher, redstart, and wood warbler with frequently heard tawny owls and woodpeckers.

Knights Wood has hawthorn and hazel hedge boundaries on two sides of this triangular block of woodland.  As you explore the wood you will find on the northeast side a small cliff face of exposed rock, possibly where stone was extracted a long time ago.  Please take care to keep away from the cliff face.

Access to Knights Wood is via a hard surfaced forest track that meanders up and down the hillside leading into the wood where you can turn and park. From here, there is an overgrown path running through the entire length of the wood where one can enjoy views looking out over grazed pasture and along the valley.


If It Were Mine

Knights wood doesn’t require any immediate work, but I would identify any trees that are looking “worse for wear” or if felled would be an advantage to surrounding trees. I would also consider creating a small camping spot that I could enjoy the surroundings of a weekend with the children, perhaps even put up a rope swing.

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