Description

Hall Wood lies on the northern edge of a larger gated forest. The Peak District National Park is eight miles to the west and Sheffield is a similar distance to the south. External access links are excellent with junction 36 of the M1 just three miles away. Internally, a stone track which is readily negotiated by 4x4 (and with care by car) leads all the way to the property.

The majority of the wood occupies north-facing slopes - gentle at the top and moderate further down. The entire property is designated as a Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site suggesting at least 400 years of woodland cover and consequently it supports a richer habitat than more recently established woodland. This is reflected in the ground flora and the variety of woodland songbirds present, along with woodpeckers, buzzards, badgers and foxes.

The majority of the wood is comprised of a mixture of maturing European larch and Norway spruce, interspersed here and there with pockets of Scots and Corsican pine. Within this conifer matrix are a significant number of broadleaves including oak, beech and birch. The relatively high percentage of deciduous trees overall (including larch) gives this property a surprisingly light feel beneath the canopy. The shrub layer is populated by sporadic regeneration from most of the parent tree species coupled with a scattering of holly and hazel bushes.

The woodland floor is largely clear of invasive vegetation and supports a healthy number of bluebells with scattered fern and occasional soft grasses. There is for the most part easy pedestrian access across the site. This, coupled with the broad soft ride running down the east side and the stone track on the south edge, makes for a good access package both for recreation and woodland management.

The wood is in production phase and would benefit from thinning. This could yield a significant volume of firewood, although the quality of many of the stems suggests that small-scale milling is also an option. The significant presence of hardwoods in some parts of the wood also presents the chance of selective species thinning to progressively steer this wood back towards a native broadleaf composition if desired.

This compact accessible wood with its broad range of species and management options presents an attractive and affordable package.

Directions & Access

From J36 of the M1 head southwest on the A61, also called Westwood New Road. After a mile cross straight over the first roundabout and continue on the A61 for a further 1½ miles passing the junction (by a garage) for A629 on your right. Keep south on the A61 for a further 300 metres and you will see a Woods4sale sign in a tree on your right. Turn first right after the sign into a private drive (about 200 metres after the sign). Immediately after entering the drive there is an area of hard-standing on your left.

Please park on the hard-standing and walk from this point. The entrance to the wood is via the locked gate opposite (A on plan) (with a small For Sale sign).

Walk north up the forest track for 200 metres (B) and then turn left, following the track for a further 150 metres until you see a ride on your right marked with red-topped posts (C). Hall Wood is now on your right.
