Limestone Wood - SOLD - Over 5 acres, £45,000
Limestone Wood has both ancient semi-natural woodland and its own meadow. The wood is bordered by National Trust land and areas of private woodland. The meadow is about one acre, very quiet and perfect for picnics, camping or just relaxation. The meadow land is organic and was previously grazed by a local farmer's dairy herd. The woods are part of the River Lemon Valley Woods - a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. This area is an example of ancient semi-natural woodland developed almost wholly on limestone and calcareous soils, a habitat rare in Devon. The main canopy trees are ash, pendunculate oak and beech, with small-leaved lime, field maple and sycamore also present. Alder is common beside the river and wych elm is also present. The shrub layer is very varied and includes hazel, wild service tree, spindle, wayfaring tree, guelder rose, dogwood and crab apple. The ground flora is equally rich with butcher's broom and spurge laurel being among the most notable species. The woodland slopes down to the River Lemon. Fishing rights are included along the river frontage (of almost 120 metres) which forms the northern boundary.
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 Newton Abbot take the A381 Totnes Road. Turn right at the first roundabout (Ogwell Cross). From here it is just under 2 miles to the wood. After approx. 1 mile turn right at the Village Green. Follow the road down into the village and turn right by the village hall. After about 50 yards, just as the road bends sharply left and downhill, turn right into Mill Lane (no through road). Follow this road and park by the gate on your right. There is a Woodlands sign on the gate. Go over the gate and keep to the left-hand edge of the woods for about 350 metres to a point where the meadow narrows and there is a gate in the hedge on the right, with a short slope down into the meadow. This is the entrance point to Limestone Wood. Alternatively, after parking as above, walk down Mill Lane to just before the ford and bear right along the public footpath. Follow the footpath and on reaching Bradley Pit you will see the blue boundary markings of the western boundary. Continuing along the path, you will reach the eastern boundary also marked in blue.
