Description

Stone Dyke Wood is a secluded haven of stream-side broadleaves at the end of a forest track, screened from the outside world by rolling farmland and other woods. The Peak District National Park is eight miles to the west and Sheffield is a similar distance to the south. Junction 36 of the M1 is just three miles away making this a very accessible hideaway.

The wood lies on largely level ground with a gentle northern aspect. It is well served by a number of small private paths which meander through the oak stems giving good access throughout and linking with the stream-side.

Aside from an occasional beech, larch, rowan and birch the canopy is almost exclusively composed of mid-rotation oak dating from the middle of the last century. The stems are moderately spaced, admitting a fair degree of light to the woodland floor which in consequence is pleasantly greened with glades of soft grasses. The form of the oak is generally good, and a light crown thin would yield some firewood as well as benefiting the retained crop.

The under-storey is populated with a few young beech saplings along with some holly and hazel. Beneath this the soft grasses and very modest blackberry presence enables easy foot access across the entire wood which also hosts some ancient woodland associates such as wood sorrel and anemone.

The woodland is a refuge for wildlife with a wide variety of woodland songbirds. When we visited we also noted woodpeckers and buzzards as well as the tell-tale signs of badgers and foxes.

The wood will have wide appeal to those with an eye for habitat conservation and quiet enjoyment. With 4x4 access the opportunities for recreation here are obvious with the prospect of many an evening camp fire fed by fallen deadwood amidst peaceful surroundings with the backdrop of the stream. Early viewing is recommended.

If It Were Mine

A central glade maintained by occasional strimming of the soft grasses would create a lovely locus for quiet recreation, whilst other more open areas might benefit from a little light under-planting. More densely populated stands could take a modest thin which in conjunction with fallen deadwood should provide a healthy stack of logs. And I’m always keen to attract songsters with extra bird boxes.
