Description

Salter’s Grove is situated in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in southeast Devon. Honiton is about 2 miles to the west, from where the A30 gives good access up country or west to Exeter (some 25 minutes away). A number of Devon’s famed coastal resort villages like Sidmouth and Lyme Regis are a short drive to the south.

The wood occupies a shallow north-facing bowl on the south side of a secluded and un-roaded valley. Aside from the occasional train in the cutting a fair distance away there is little here to disturb the peace beyond birdsong and the rustle of wind in the trees.

Our visit on a full summer’s day was a delight. A charming mix of mature broadleaves and well-spaced conifers wrap around a small grove of grasses and woodland flowers within which is a well-sited shed with framed views to the north. To the southeast the ground rises gently through elegant Norway spruce stems (interspersed with beech, hazel, birch and rowan) to a young belt of birch overlooking adjacent fields.

Aside from the upper thicket of young birch, the wood is delightfully clear of entangling vegetation with ferns and bluebells beneath the mature stems giving way to a variety of grasses, flowers and herbs in more open areas. This varied habitat is appreciated by a variety of mammals including badgers and roe deer, along with plenty of woodland songsters.

A recently upgraded stone track ensures good year-round access and will serve well for the extraction of forest produce.  

Salter's Grove is a rather special hide-away. If you are attracted by our pictures we’re sure you'll appreciate the real thing.

If It Were Mine

I’d cut a path through the young broadleaves on the upper southeast edge and then set about re-spacing them. The Norways would also benefit from a light thin. This wood is the epitome of private enjoyment and relaxation so considerable time would also be spent doing just that!

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