Description

Bowdler Wood, found at the end of a quiet countryside road, is a secluded woodland haven with great potential. Comprised of mostly maturing oak trees, there are a few ancient oak, sycamore and beech trees on the periphery of the woodland to the north and are a sight to see!

Hazel, sycamore and the occasional holly tree are growing under the tall canopy of oaks. Some of the hazel has been previously cut and allowed to regrow, creating an irregular coppice regime. This could easily be re-established providing firewood, or even some nice lengths to whittle some walking sticks. The benefit of this to the woodland would be to create some temporary open spaces that would allow all sorts of plants and bugs to colonise the area.

The wood is host to a variety of hard and soft ferns and wild grasses, the occasional greater stitchwort, enchanter’s nightshade, yellow archangel and bugleweed, along with bluebells in spring. There are also a number of animal tracks and a disused badger sett in the south east corner. The woodland is also alive with the sound of songbirds - we could identify the blackbird, the robin, and the song thrush.

Access into the woodland is good along a hard-surfaced track made of locally sourced stone. Inside the wood there is an overgrown forestry track which could be opened up with a little work. Once clear, a car could be parked whilst you head into the woodland.

The woodland is situated on a north westerly aspect looking out across the rolling countryside and towards the border town of Knighton. With a little clearance, these views could be improved to further enhance the woodland.

If It Were Mine

I would certainly clear the old forestry track to the north east to allow better access. I would begin cutting the hazel on a regular basis to clear some space and allow the undergrowth to develop and create some new habitat (think of the bluebells in the spring!).

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