Description
This secluded woodland offers the woodlander the perfect opportunity for family forestry. It is conveniently located to nearby Aylsham and the city of Norwich. A real asset is the Marriots Way which passes just to the north of the woodland. Thus it would be possible to walk, cycle or even ride a horse all the way from Norwich to the woodland, only having to use a road for the very last section.
The woodland is mixed, predominantly mature conifer with self-seeded beech and an understorey of holly and hazel. It is a wildlife haven, being the perfect habitat for hares and muntjac deer as well as foxes, buzzards and squirrels.
Due to its level nature the woodland offers plenty of places to camp and it is easy to vanish from sight and the outside world.
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.
Trees
A wonderfully mixed woodland made up of a variety of pines as well as ash, laurels, silver birch and oak.
Wildlife
The rural setting of Northwic Wood provides a home to a variety of wildlife that forages across surrounding open fields and shelters in the privacy of the wood during the daylight hours.
Otters are known to inhabit the larger area of woodland feeding on fish in the lake to the east of Northwic Wood.
Muntjac deer can often be seen at dawn and dusk and if you sit quietly you may see a roe deer. These deer are known as the fairies of the woodland and are such graceful creatures.
Features
Tall pines tower above an understorey of shrubs and younger trees. The wood is gently undulating with plenty of open patches in which to camp.
Access, tracks and footpaths
An old woodland ride runs around the northern and southern boundaries providing good access to the woodland. The access track is well constructed and allows year round vehicle access suitable for most family vehicles.
The woodland benefits from being totally private with no public rights of way through it.
Activities
The woodland provides the opportunity for a new owner to engage in family forestry. Managing a mixed woodland and learning bushcraft skills is a great way to escape modern life. Camping or building woodland hides and all sorts of other outdoor activities can be done here.
Local area and history
Nothwic Wood forms part of a much larger area of woodland extending to over 130 acres called Warren House Wood. The landscape forms part of a gently undulating predominantly arable agricultural area characterised by large fields with small settlements and large areas of woodland. Whilst none of the woodland is designated as Ancient woodland the Ordinance survey records of 1814 show this area had been afforested by that time.
The Marriott's Way runs just north of the woodland between Norwich and Aylsham, Norfolk, England. Its total length is 24.6 miles (39.5 km). It has a mixture of surfaces; tarmac, compacted gravel, and earth and can be used on foot cycle or horseback. This gives the new owner travelling from Norwich or Aylsham a green and tranquil way of visiting their wood.
