Description

Coelmund Wood is a fine example of a mixed species woodland with a good variety of tall mature oaks and beech trees with some old coppice hazel and the occasional hawthorn on the peripheries. The highlight is the swathe of majestic beech trees on the eastern boundary that are in excess of 150 years old, with wide reaching branches and very large trunks. The nature of beech trees is that the leaves take a long time to decompose, this has an effect of suppressing the ground vegetation so the areas under the branches are lovely and clear (apart from the leaves!).

Away from the beech trees the ground vegetation is flourishing. A wide variety of wildflowers and plants are found in the woodland at various times of the year, such as bluebells, wild garlic, wild campion, wood sanicle, yellow pimpernel and wood speedwell, as well as some brambles and wild grasses.

As the woodland is set in an isolated position in the Devonshire countryside, surrounded by agricultural fields (aside from other woodland owners, the only neighbours are lowing dairy cattle) this makes a very tranquil and secluded area. The trees provide natural cover and habitat for different types of animals and birds. Roe deer are known to frequent the woodland - a few nibbled saplings have been noted and tell-tale hoof prints - along with badgers and foxes.

Getting to the woodland is quite straightforward, the town of South Molton is only 10 miles away, and Tiverton is around 20 minutes’ drive with the M5 a short distance further to the east. The hard surfaced track leading to the wood allows year-round access. There are a few gates to circumnavigate but this only adds to the privacy on offer in this charming woodland.

If It Were Mine

Coelmund Wood does not need much upkeep, so apart from felling a few trees to make a clearing to pitch my tent, the only other thing I might consider is encouraging the trackside vegetation to thicken up, perhaps plant some bushes here too such as holly or hawthorn, as these provide a nice dense foliage (and are a favourite for songbirds as the berries feed them in the autumn and winter months!). This will provide some natural screening from the track and make the woodland feel even more private.

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