Description
For anyone looking to indulge in family forestry Great Hart Wood is ideal.
From the browsing red deer and the woodland birds in the canopy, the tree cover at Great Hart Wood supports a unique woodland ecosystem. The importance of this biodiversity is difficult to overstate in a time when so much of the surrounding land is given over to the pressures of commercial agriculture and food production.
Great Hart Wood is a true refuge from the frantic pace of modern life. Located along a well made woodland track. For centuries the seasons have come and gone and the woodland has seen the passing of many generations. It has supported both animal and human life in many different ways; as a source of wood fuel and building material.
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
The morning sun illuminates mature oak and sweet chestnut trees that fill the woodland. The sunlight has encouraged the growth of bracken and ferns that cover the woodland floor. There are further stands of Silver birch, holly and sycamore.
Wildlife
This is an important local wildlife area that continues to support thriving populations of deer, bird life and small woodland mammals.
Features
The woodland is level and surrounded on three sides by private woodland.
Access, tracks and footpaths
The woodland has the benefit of an excellent stoned access track suitable for most family vehicles providing all year access to the woodland.
The woodland is subject to an overage agreement to deter development and add another layer of protection to the woodland.
There are no public footpaths running through the wood.
Activities
The scale of this woodland and the extent of the mature trees here make this an ideal woodland for ongoing small scale forestry management projects and also more importantly as an escape to nature.
For days out enjoying this very picturesque part of Suffolk, Great Hart Wood is an ideal base for camping expeditions with family or friends. A short journey to the coastal delights of Aldeburgh, Bawdsey and Orford and a cycle trip from the centre of Ipswich.
Those with the knowledge of or keen interest in learning about tree care and maintenance are able to help this young woodland fulfill its long term potential.
