Trees

For centuries the stems of towering beech and oak have provided a safe habitat that is constantly evolving as the canopy changes over the generations. There is also sweet chestnut and emerging self seeded birch, hazel, ash and fir among the other species here to further enhance the diversity. Of particular note are the enormous beech trees that stand near the entrance to Honor Wood, creating an impressive protective canopy and clearing from which to explore further.

Wildlife

Honor Wood is beautifully secluded; located along a well-made track and set amongst a community of other woodland owners near open countryside. As such it is a habitat that is seldom disturbed; where fallow, roe and muntjac deer can browse untroubled and where the opportunity exists to become immersed in the sounds of nature.

Features

Even in winter when the woodland is in its dormant state it is easy to appreciate the beauty of this natural environment and sense the joy of anticipation for the spring reawakening when the woodland will burst into colour and life.

Access, tracks and footpaths

A shared woodland track leads to the boundary of Honor Wood. The wood is entirely private there are no public rights of way

Local area and history

Throughout earlier centuries much of the land around this area was managed for the benefit of wealthy estate owners. During this period there was considerable planting of woodland on country estates to enhance the sporting appeal. In more recent times this has resulted in an interesting mix of conifer planting with more mature oak, beech and and chestnut dispersed throughout. This delightfully diverse woodland serves as a reminder of the passing of a bygone social era and the timeless beauty of an English woodland. The name Honor Wood derives from an old English term for a holding or group of holding belonging to a large estate held by an Earl or Nobleman. Honor Wood now forms part of the larger woodland previously known as Greenwood.
