Description

One of the most attractive characteristics about Sutton wood is the variety of species growing here. The trees are a mixture of broadleaves, predominately beech and oak, but there are also silver birch, hazel, sycamore, willow, holly and hawthorn found growing here. These are a mixture of ages which has created a very diverse canopy with small glades throughout the woodland where light reaches the floor, creating a very picturesque setting.

The ground flora within the woodland consist of a variety of wildflowers, ferns, grasses and mosses. Of note our forester was able to identify bluebells, wild garlic, wild campion, wood sanicle, yellow pimpernel and wood speedwell.

Signs of deer, believed to be roe, have been noted on site, along with the odd badger, and fox. The woodland is alive with birdsong and on warm summer days, buzzards have been seen circling, riding the hot air currents.

Sutton Wood is found in the middle of the Devon countryside, but is easily accessible from South Molton which is a mere 10 miles away. A stoned track takes you into the woodland which is easily accessible in a two wheeled drive car all year round. There are a few gates between the road and the edge of the woodland, separating a few agricultural fields that you must pass through to get to the woodland, this does lend a huge sense of security to the woodland.

If a quiet, secluded and private woodland is sought, you need not look any further than Sutton wood, it is a fantastic woodland with a lot of variety and would be a wonderful place to spend some quality time outside in the Devon countryside.

If It Were Mine

This woodland is an ideal place to do some wild camping and there are already a few open glades that could be utilised with minor changes. There are a few trees that could be felled to make some ready firewood, either for the campfire or to take home.

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