Ash, silver birch, hazel, maple, hawthorn and blackthorn.

The undisturbed nature of the wood means that Rockfield Wood is rich in wildlife. Buzzards and red kites have been seen soaring over the woodland. You may hear a tawny owl in the evening as the sun sets. Woodpeckers can be heard in early spring.

Badger trails exist through the woodland, and foxes have been spotted in a woodland nearby. The wood is full of small brown birds, plus blackbirds and possibly ravens.

Rockfield Wood is in the eastern half of the larger Tump Wood. The wood rises east up the track to a ride stop, affording access to Rockfield Wood. Behind and into the woodland itself, the land rises with stand upon stand of magnificent broadleaf trees. Eventually, flat areas are apparent, which are crossed by badger tracks and ringed by blackberry bushes.

Access through a locked main gate from the road leads up a private forestry track to parking and a ride-stop for the owner of Rockfield. There are no public footpaths or public access through the woodland.

A number of animal tracks wind their way through the woods especially along flat areas and into potential clearings.

The buyer will get a key to the gate, and be able to park on their on parking space.

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.

This undisturbed woodland provides an ideal place for woodland management, camping, and foraging in nature. Owners could begin coppicing the hazel and managing older broadleaf trees to create firewood and useful timber, pick blackberries in the autumn and late summer, create woodland clearings and paths, and gentle management to encourage a healthy habitat. Enjoy the bluebells in the spring!

More active activities include walking and hiking, foraging, bushcraft, and shelter building.

This woodland can provide opportunities for conservation and recreation. Wildlife watching, family gatherings and outdoor adventure are all catered for.

The woodland is just north of the town of Monmouth, on the Herefordshire-Monmouthshire borders, with nearby villages of Rockfield and Osbaston on the banks of the River Monnow. Rock stars Queen recorded Bohemian Rhapsody at Rockfield Studios less than a mile south, and the studio location was featured in the film ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

In 2012, archaeological excavations along the nearby Rockfield Road uncovered a massive Bronze Age longhouse and a highly significant "boat-building" site linked to a large, ancient prehistoric lake. Finds spanning from the Stone Age through to the Roman period (linked to the nearby Roman fort of Blestium in Monmouth) prove the area has been settled for millennia.

Perth-hir House situated just northwest of Rockfield, was once a magnificent, moated 16th-century Tudor mansion owned by the prominent Herbert family. Following the English Reformation, it became an active and well-known sanctuary for Catholic recusants. Though mostly demolished in the 1830s, its ruins remain a scheduled historic monument.

Osbaston’s history is anchored to the River Monnow’s water power. The first records of a water-powered iron forge here date back to the 12th century under Baderon of Monmouth. A major new forge was built by 1628, accompanied by late 18th-century workers' cottages that still stand today. To trap water for the forge, the massive 100-meter-long Osbaston Weir was engineered. In 1899, the Monmouth Corporation used this site to build one of the first publicly owned hydroelectric generating stations in Britain, which supplied electricity to Monmouth for decades.

Monmouth itself has the only remaining fortified bridge in the UK. It is also the birth place of Henry V, the scene of the Monmouth Revolts and has links with Rolls of Rolls Royce fame and Lord Nelson who often visited the town.
