Description

Tarka Wood is a delightful young woodland found in a rural and isolated location in North Devon. Surrounded by other woodland and fields there is full vehicular access along a series of roads and tracks of varying types.

The woodland is primarily a mix of regenerating birch, beech and oak with some larger ash, oak and sycamore on the western and eastern edges. Underneath and between the trees is a prolific mix of blackberry bushes, gorse and wild grasses. Lush holly bushes can be found dotted throughout, providing year-round green as well as food for birds.

The woodland is regularly visited by both red and roe deer and foxes as well as a diverse range of songbirds. Squirrels have been seen in the mature boundary trees and there are likely to be rabbits running around the woodland edges.

This is a lovely quiet woodland with the opportunity at this early stage in its development to determine its future, be that small scale commercial forestry or amenity and recreation.  In the meantime, time can be spent - with or without family - in a lovely and quiet part of the Devon countryside.

If It Were Mine

I would look to plant groups of alternative tree species dependent on future requirements; for amenity I would look at native broadleaves as these are likely to grow very well, focusing on trees that produce good firewood, such as cherry, sycamore or hazel for example. Otherwise I might plant Douglas fir or cedar to provide some colour in the winter and diversity to the tree species.

Whilst deciding, I would thin some of the bramble to create a nice place to pitch a tent and spend a few days camping in this quiet location in the summer.

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