Park Wood, Barwick in Elmet, Near Leeds 4.96 acres (approx) of mixed broadleaved woodland for £30,000 [#181].

A very peaceful broadleaved woodland, surrounded by farmland and yet close to Leeds and the A1/M1.

Park Wood is a broadleaved woodland with a wide variety of tree species and ages. The woodland has two quite distinct areas with quite different characteristics.

The southern section is mainly large mature Beech, Sycamore, Oak, Horse Chestnut and Ash, with other species including Birch, Holly, Hazel, Field Maple and Thorn.

The northern section was felled and replanted about 15 years ago. The mixed broadleaves are now growing well and many trees stand well over 20 feet high. A path has been cut around the area to give better access. This area would benefit from a degree of re-spacing or thinning to allow the preferred trees to develop.

The woodland is flat with good access along a long private road, and then a short track through other woodland. The soils are fertile well-drained calcareous fine loam over limestone.

The woodland sits in a slightly elevated position surrounded by farmland on three sides, and other woodland on the fourth. The woodland is full of wildlife and would make a perfect tranquil retreat.

The purchaser of Park Wood will have an option to buy some or all of the rest of this block of forestry.
