Description
Surrounded by agricultural land, and near to a National Nature Reserve, Stimmy Wood is a haven for lots of different birds and mammals. The woodland was replanted in 2008/9. These young trees are growing vigorously, showing signs of good growth with annual leaders of a very good length. Some gentle management (with hand tools if preferred) would enhance the growth. There is potential to create pathways into the heart of the woodland to promote enjoyment of the woodland.
The south west corner has a large wet area, which is attracting wild life and with some gentle management could flourish.
A large newly created stone hard standing is easily accessible from a good track, making access to the woodland simple.
Trees
Following the site being clear felled, a concise re-planting took place. All details can be passed onto purchasers upon request. The majority of replanting was Sitka Spruce, however there was also other trees such as the following.
Sitka Spruce (picea sitchensis)
Oak - quercus robur
Field Maple - acer campestre
Wild Cherry - prunus avium
Rowan - sorbus aucuparia
The woodlands now would benefit from some gentle land management to help these new trees flourish. Thinned young saplings could be used to create dead hedges or similar.
Wildlife
The area is close to the National Nature Reserve, Moss Fern and a neighbouring lake. As a result there is a lot of wildlife in the area.
Signs of deer, badger and rabbit are the obvious mammals, though bats have been seen in the evening.
The birdlife here is really diverse, from all the "little brown jobs" - Sparrows, Siskins and Finches, through to Tawny Owls, Woodcock, Sparrowhawk and Pheasants. Nearby ponds and lakes encourage water fowl with several types of duck visiting and often flying overhead.
Features
The woodlands are very flat and the parking easily accessible with a normal car. Its a quiet area with little noise or light pollution.
Access, tracks and footpaths
From the parking area, a brush cut pathway leads into the woodland, where a small clearing can be found. There is potential to create a network of paths through the woodland to further manage or enjoy the woodland.
Rights and covenants
As is the case for all our woodlands, the purchaser will be asked to enter into a covenant which serves to protect the peace and quiet of the woodland.
Activities
Stimmy Wood is located near the famous Fenns. Nearby is Hamner Mere - a village with 9 water ways The Mere Cycle way will take you past 9 meres, or if you prefer some nature there is Moss Fenn park which has been a National Natural reserve for 30 years!
Stimmy Wood is also close to Llangollen, which boasts a castle, gorgeous river and plenty of quality places to eat.
For an arty day out, try the sculpture trail in nearby Ellesmere.
Being so close to the border, Whitchurch is also nearby.
Finally - don't forget about Wrexham and its new found fame!
Local area and history
Bronington is ideally located on the border between Wales and England. It is first mentioned in 1284 as Bronynton ‘settlement of [Bron’s] people’. In 1777 an enclosure map shows only nine buildings clustered around the edges of what was a long central green or common lying to the south of the present School Lane. More on it's history can be found here - http://www.bronington-cc.org/history/ .
It has easy links to Whitchurch, Wrexham and Oswestry, but is in a quiet rural location.
