Forda Wood - Just under 7 acres, £39,000
Located near the village of Kilkhampton and within easy reach of the North Cornwall coast, Forda Wood is made up of two distinct parts. The top half of the woodland which slopes gently down from its southern boundary comprises mixed broadleaves including oak, ash, rowan, poplar, alder and willow. A track runs through this section from near the SE corner towards the NW. A mature hedge-bank runs east to west across the wood, separating the top section from the lower. Take the steps over the hedge-bank and you find yourself in an area of meadow grasses and wildflowers with poplars and hazel. The very bottom part of this area, which has a small stream running along the northern boundary, has a wetland feel to it, with tussock grasses and willows. A track crosses this lower section, running from about half-way up the E boundary across to the SW corner.
The woodlands were established about 10 years ago and there is a modest income available under the woodland grant scheme for another 5 – 6 years.
Note: in accordance with the terms under which the woodland was established, public access to the woods was granted for a ten year period, which expires in just a few months in January 2009.
The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.

Directions
From Launceston : take the B3254 road to Bude, passing through the villages of Yeolmbridge and Whitstone to the Red Post crossroads. Go straight across at the crossroads (signed to Kilkhampton) and on through the village of Grimscott. About 3 miles further on the roads bends sharply to the left and there is a turning to the right, signposted to Tamar Lakes. The woods are directly in front of you, identified by a ‘Woodlands For Sale’ board. Take the turning to Tamar Lakes. After about 150 yards there is a gate on your left (there is also a small lay-by on the right nearby). Park by the gate . Go over the gate and turn right along the track for about 60 yards until you reach a sign for Forda Wood. Alternatively, enter through the gate by the sign boards and turn right down the track for about 200 yards. From Holsworthy : take the A3072 Holsworthy – Bude road to Red Post crossroads. Turn right for Kilkhampton and proceed as above. From the A39 : at Kilkhampton take the B3254 (East Road). After about half a mile the road bends sharply to the right and there is a turning signposted to Tamar Lakes to your left. The woods are at this junction, as described above.
