Description
A great opportunity to own a lovely, woodland in a remote location. The woodland on a west facing slope that provides great growing. The woodland is at the end of a track that has recently been upgraded.
The trees are a mix of well spaced Larch, with the understory having Rowan, Birch and some young beech. Wildlife includes lots of Muntjack deer, and many species of birdlife.
The top entrance point into the wood gives easy access into the woodland as well as a track that gives access along the eastern boundary
Trees
The woodland is mainly well spaced/well thinned Larch planted around 1960.
There is a fair amount of young broadleaf, including Rowan, Holly, Birch and Beech, spread around the woodland. A developing understory is indicative of the quality of growing land that Nipstone Wood offiers.
Wildlife
Quite a few Muntjac deer have been spotted across Brookshill. The woodland is also rife with numerous song birds, raptors and smaller birds.
A huge spread of bluebells is beautiful in the spring, laying dormant through the rest of the year.
Features
The west facing slope catches plenty of sun. The well spaced Larch has allowed a good understory to develop which is great for bio-diversity.
