Description

Situated in a very secluded location in the heart of the Devon countryside, Eastcott Wood is a charming mixed broadleaf woodland with great access. The woodland predominately consists of mature oak and beech. Some of these must be in excess of 200 years old and considered to be veteran trees. These are recognised as trees that support a wide range of fauna and fungal bodies and provide invaluable habitat within a woodland. I would highly recommend taking a walk down to the southern boundary and exploring these giant specimens. Younger tree species can be found here too, such as silver birch, hazel, willow, holly and hawthorn.

The woodland floor underneath the canopy is a mixture of wildflowers, ferns, wild grasses and mosses. Of particular note are the bluebells, wild garlic, wild campion, wood sanicle, yellow pimpernel and wood speedwell that provide spots of colour throughout the spring and summer seasons.

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.

Getting to the woodland is easy along the well-maintained stone track that is accessible year round in 2WD vehicles. The track takes you through some other woodland and agricultural fields and there are a few gates to pass through, but this all adds to the privacy and security of the woodland.

All in all, Eastcott Wood is a wonderful woodland in a very quiet location, where nothing but the sound of the countryside breaks the silence and it is a great place to spend warm summer nights camping under the stars.

If It Were Mine

Some of the areas with the younger trees would benefit from a light thinning out to provide a bit more space for the remaining trees. I might look at felling a few trees in one area to create a little opening or even enhance an existing one to encourage wildflowers to flourish.

I would probably look at creating a camping area for the family and spend a bit of time in the summer outside enjoying the warmth and sunshine having spent a bit too long indoors over winter.

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