Description

Lull Wood is situated a short drive east of Weston-Super-Mare on the northern fringes of the Mendip Hills in rural Somerset, and forms part of a wider historical woodland that dates back to the Iron Age.

Sitting on fertile free draining soils that slope gently north, a mature canopy comprises beech, oak, ash, hazel and occasional larch. Some particularly majestic examples of beech and hazel stand towards the northwest boundary and access track. Testifying to its careful previous management, the stems show good form and with a Forestry Commission thinning licence in place, a new owner could further enhance the woodland with a simple thinning programme. Below is a lush shrub layer of hazel coppice, beech regeneration (known for its shade tolerance), sycamore and hawthorn. Swathes of bluebell, wild garlic, and hart’s-tongue fern carpet the ground layer, characteristic of a long-established woodland.

Far reaching views of Somerset and the River Severn beyond can be enjoyed at numerous points from the southern end of the wood. The wood hosts a wide diversity of wildlife visitors including roe deer, fox, badger, buzzard, green woodpecker and the rare lesser horseshoe bat, as well as many tuneful songsters.

Lull Wood is ideal for someone looking to promote the woodland to maximise its potential (and also get a bit of firewood in the process!). It benefits from good vehicular access suitable for a 2WD vehicle in all but the wettest of months. Towards the southern boundary, an additional track provides useful access for forestry purposes.

If It Were Mine

I would look to improve the final section of the track to allow parking, storage of firewood or an area to camp.

Some of the areas within Lull wood could do with thinning out that would improve the overall health of the woodland.

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