Description
Almost six acres of mixed deciduous and broadleaf trees. Easy access with views across open countryside from the top of the site and over the valley below. The valley itself has a year round stream running along its length which in winter becomes swollen with runoff from the fields above and around the valley bottom. Both slopes of the valley are covered with mature conifers and the bottom of the valley has a hidden open peaceful glade. A beautiful stunning and hidden gem in this untouched almost primeval area of woodland. Having seen the wood through all four seasons its beauty needs to be seen to be believed. Breathtaking and different throughout the year.
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
Mature tall conifers, would welcome thinning, with a glorious mix of native broadleaf trees including ash, elder, and blackthorn trees with sloe berries in season.
Wildlife
Open hedged rather than fenced fields allow wildlife free reign throughout this area. Muntjac, badger, moles, voles, rabbits and much more call this area home.
Features
Corbett Wood is next door to Stiperstones National Nature Reserve and is part of the Shropshire Hills AONB.
Mature conifers and stunning views both of the valley bottom and also the surrounding countryside and fields. Easy access to visit, Wolverhampton and Birmingham both approximately an hour away; but isolated from any developments in the local area. A true haven for walkers and lovers of fresh air, wildlife, peace and tranquility.
Access, tracks and footpaths
Access to the parking area is from the main track through a locked gate down a hardy stone surfaced track to the valley top. A ridestop marks the boundary of Corbett Wood.
Sheep may be on the open fields. Will all visitors kindly NOT BRING THEIR DOGS or maintain them on a very short leash. Thank you.
