Description

Littleton Wood is a delightful diverse woodland with some truly ancient characteristics. The woodland is primarily made up of mature beech trees and hazel stools (believed to be over 100 years old), although it does have elements of Scots pine and larch and a nice amount of silver birch. A valid Forestry Commission thinning licence benefits anyone looking to reinstate the coppice or fell a few birch trees for some firewood.

In springtime under the lovely green canopy the ground is transformed into a sea of blue and white, created by the bluebells and wild garlic. Hart’s tongue fern, soft fern, a variety of mosses and wild grasses and the odd dog’s mercury are also found throughout the woodland. The plants and trees are growing on fertile, free draining and slightly acidic soils, on a northerly aspect slope.

The views out north extend towards Somerset and the River Severn and with a little clearance could make a lovely spot to construct a wooden bench and enjoy the quiet summer evenings. In the fields to the north and in the wider woods, roe deer have been seen on numerous occasions, along with signs of foxes, badgers, buzzards and green woodpeckers too, and at every visit we are serenaded with an assortment of songbirds.

The woodland is accessed along a well maintained hard track that takes you right to the woodland edge and is suitable for year round use. As a place to relax, to camp or for a part time woodworker Littleton Wood is a fantastic opportunity for someone.

If It Were Mine

I would clear an area on the boundary, pitch a tent, and spend some wonderful evenings under the stars next to a small camp fire, whilst enjoying the quietness of the surrounding woodland. Some of the trees could be felled using the handy felling licence to open up the canopy to benefit the woodland as a whole.

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