The mixed character of Spinosa Wood offers much variety to a new owner. On first entering the wood there are mature oaks that offer teasing glimpses of the sprawling open countryside in the distance. The understory here provides patches of dense thicket for woodland mammals where young holly and spinosa (the botanical name for blackthorn) compete for space. Providing ingredients for autumnal preparation of sloe Gin.

A number of animal trails lead through the undergrowth between clearings of fragile grasses and woodland flowers. The astonishing bluebell display here in the spring is a truly fantastic spectacle.

Spinosa Wood was originally part of a larger single woodland ownership but in recent months a new community of small woodland owners has developed here and the signs of active engagement in this beautiful environment are now much in evidence. From bird and bat boxes on trees, to freshly prepared log piles of winter fuel and bramble clearing; this activity is encouraging new wildlife and bringing the enjoyment of nature to a new generation of woodland owners.

This important woodland environment is protected by a Tree Preservation Order that protects Spinosa Wood and the surrounding Woodland from inappropriate forestry practice. This does not preclude the process of normal woodland management but simply requires that all proposals are approved in advance by the local authority.
