Hampton Wood, Herefordshire - Just over 3 acres, £45,000
Hampton Wood is part of a woodland known as Knockerhill Wood. Hampton Wood is a very secluded ancient woodland, which has some stunning mature broad leaf trees which include oak, ash, sweet chestnut, hornbeam and silver birch . There is a well established understorey of young trees and shrubs, such as hazel coppice, ash saplings, holly and rowan. The land is generally level with some gentle variations in the landscape. There are some lovely natural open areas that would be ideal for creating a woodland 'base' for camping and woodland activities. Alternatively these areas could be used for introducing new tree species which would encourage the biodiversity of both the trees and the wildlife that visit the wood.
At the main entrance there is a wooden gate that gives way to a large hard standing area which can be used as a car park. A good track suitable for motor vehicles meanders through the woodland until arriving at the end where there is another car park. The main track forms the eastern boundary to Hampton Wood, and along this section of track there is a 'pull-in' to park a vehicle. The second car park at the end of the track is a short distance away from Hampton Wood which can be used to park, and also as a turning circle.
This woodland has remained largely untouched for at least the past 50 years. As a result, Hampton Wood is a real haven for wildlife, including Dormice, badger, fox, kestrel, peregrine, barn owl and fallow deer.
Sites of mature ancient woodland such as this are rare in the UK and a new purchaser will want to manage in ways that protect and preserve the mature trees and wildlife. Knockerhill Wood has been designated by Herefordshire Nature Trust and Herefordshire Council as a “Special Wildlife Site”: somewhere that contributes significantly to biodiversity, conservation and the wildlife network.
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.
