Description

Located a short distance east of Clevedon and south of Portishead in semi-rural northwest Somerset, Round Wood is essentially a standalone copse that abuts the southern boundary of a wider wooded area. Access is on foot only over a public byway, offering an undisturbed feel as a result. 

Situated in part on gentle south facing slopes with some deep undulations to the north, the mature canopy is underpinned by loamy clay soil largely comprising ash, oak, birch and sycamore. Within the shrub layer you will discover holly, field maple, hawthorn and hazel coppice; the hazel coppice could serve as a useful bushcraft material. Come warmer times of the year, the ground layer is enhanced by Ancient Woodand indicators consisting of bluebell, wood anemone, herb Robert, dog’s mercury, primrose, and wild garlic (great for homemade pesto). Rare orchids have also been identified within this woodland. Ferns include hart’s tongue and bracken.

To the north of Round Wood is a historic limestone quarry that was used by the nearby Tyntesfield Estate to provide building stone. With fairly steep sides but with a level floor, it offers a lovely sense of privacy and would be a delightful spot to camp with a carefully managed fire. This would also double up nicely as a sheltered area to hone one’s bushcraft skills. A number of the boundaries benefit from countryside views and could be enjoyed whilst relaxing on a bench on a summer’s eve with a glass of something refreshing in hand.

A prosperous wildlife mammal population includes muntjac and roe deer, badger, hare, fox and wood mouse while feathered locals include, starling, owl, buzzard, song thrush, green woodpecker and many harmonious songbirds.

If It Were Mine

A few nights under canvas within the woodland is a tantalising prospect. I would consider felling one or two of the larger ash trees for a domestic supply of logs; ash with its lower moisture content burns adequately once cut, offering fuel sooner than other species that require seasoning before burning. 

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