Much local wildlife seem to have adopted this wood as their home including Hares, Badgers, Dormice and occasional visits from Red Deer.
The woodland is ideally located near Umberleigh which is a quiet village set around the old three-arched Umberleigh bridge, by the river Taw (home of Tarka the Otter). Umberleigh has a village Post Office, Tea Rooms, Railway Station and a popular pub.
Only 6 miles from Barnstaple on the A377 with the towns of South Molton and Torrington 8 miles away on the B3227. Umberleigh is served by the Tarka line train with wonderful views to Umberleigh Station. Trains run from Barnstaple to Exeter every hour.
The villages of Chittlehampton, Chittlehamholt and Atherington are only a couple of miles either way from the bridge, and all well worth a visit.
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.
Boundaries: There are light blue markings around the boundary.
This wood is no longer available. For more woods in the area, please see the regional page or contact our regional manager.
