Description

Bury Bridge Wood occupies a small hillock which tapers to a point to the south, between Cornbury Hill to the east and the River Yeo to the west. It is a few miles north west of Crediton along the A377 towards Barnstaple. The woodland benefits from a concrete road leading from the public highway into the wood and continues along the northern boundary. There is a well-maintained soft track that runs through the middle of the wood, wide enough for a 4WD vehicle.

This is a delightful woodland featuring a stand of Douglas fir and European larch growing adjacent to a stand of primarily red and pedunculate oak, but also has a small quantity of ash. The average age of the trees is believed to be approximately 25 years old.

In the lower part of the woodland to the south is an area dominated by old coppice hazel, self-seeded ash trees, flourishing dogwood and bramble. This area has been fenced off and an existing pedestrian gate allows access.

Under the canopy of the conifers where little light reaches the floor, very little grows beyond a sea of different mosses. In the more open areas under the oak plantation, there is a swathe of ash saplings, bramble, bluebells, lesser celandine, hart’s tongue and creeping ivy.

With views out over the meandering brook to the west and the agricultural fields beyond, this hilltop woodland has a very secluded feel despite its proximity to the road.

The previous owner of the woodland has created a miniature version of ‘Hundred Acre Wood’, the fictional home of Winnie the Pooh and friends. You will find ‘homes’ for Owl, Tigger, Pooh and Piglet and with a little restoration of the wooden signs, the story could continue for a new generation.

Bury Bridge Wood is a delightful place, with great access and is perfect for a young family to enjoy some private woodland.

If It Were Mine

I would definitely clean and repaint the homes for Winnie and his friends, perhaps clear the undergrowth to allow the younger children in the family to run free within the woodland.

From a forest management perspective, I would also clear the lower part of the woodland in the south and plant up this area with wild cherry and walnut, or perhaps with a series of fruit trees.

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