Description

Wallis Wood lies on the west side of a shallow Cornish valley about three miles south of Liskeard and ½ mile south of the village of St Keyne. The A38 at Liskeard gives easy access to Plymouth which is 20 miles to the east, while the attractive coastal resort of Looe is just six miles to the south.

The wood enjoys a sheltered easterly aspect looking across the valley to other woodland and fields. Unlike some Cornish valleys, this one has a light feel with an open aspect. The wood itself lies on intermediate slopes. The upper west side backs onto gently undulating fields above and the lower east edge is bounded by the public road below, whilst the shorter northern boundary fronts an attractive stream.

The larger part of the wood is populated by a well-managed stand of production-phase Douglas fir which we believe dates from the 1970s. The stems are clean and of good form holding the promise of some quality saw logs, with some stem diameters in excess of 40 cm.

The lower north, east and south sides of the wood are extensively fringed by substantial full-canopy hardwoods including beech, oak and the occasional ash. Within this matrix there are also minor elements of birch, sycamore, rowan, cherry and sweet chestnut. The shrub layer is dominated by hazel along with a smattering of holly, hawthorn and blackthorn. Beneath this the woodland floor is generally clear of entangling vegetation with a range of ferns and a variety of woodland flowers including bluebell, wood sage, foxglove, yellow pimpernel and honeysuckle.

There is a well-established track encircling the bulk of the conifer area. Though steep in parts it gives effective access to the larger part of the property for inspection and harvesting. It also provides a charming route for walking.

Access is excellent across a short length of tarmac which leads directly into a shallow quarry which will provide plenty of parking and with some work could be a useful area for timber stacking or small-scale on-site processing.

Wallis Wood is a tidy self-contained property combining commercial and amenity elements in a most attractive location.

If It Were Mine

The woodsman will recognise the value of the timber in the Douglas fir stems and the quarry has potential for small-scale timber processing. Wallis Wood is an ideal location from which to explore the south Cornish countryside and coast.

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