<div align="center"><a href="https://www.woods4sale.co.uk/woodlands/south-east-england/1947.htm" target="_blank"><strong>View More Details</strong></a></div> Located a short distance from the village of Broad Oak, Hancox Wood forms part of a larger woodland in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in rural East Sussex. It is accessed through a locked gate. Situated over gently undulating loamy clays, the mature canopy largely comprises mature sweet chestnut coppice with majestic oak standards, many of which are of an outstanding quality. In addition, there is also a good amount of birch, hornbeam, ash and occasional cherry, offering a new custodian a potential fuel stock. Within its shrub layer you will discover hazel coppice, hawthorn, holly and earlier birch. Towards the west of the woodland is a younger area of sweet chestnut stools now roughly at thicket stage, which along with the coppice perhaps provides material for bushcraft. Come spring and summer the ground layer is awash with Ancient Woodland indicators such as bluebell, wood anemone, primrose and climbing honeysuckle, all relished by pollinators. Both eagle and hard ferns are a common sight throughout the woodland. There are a number of good spots that would be suitable for occasional camping or could even be used as somewhere to mill wood on-site. A seasonal stream flanking the western boundary undoubtedly provides refreshment for wandering wildlife. Owl, buzzard, skylark, green woodpecker, lesser redpoll and numerous songsters have all been identified here. Visiting mammal populations comprise deer (roe, muntjac and fallow) badger, hare, wood mouse and fox. If It Were Mine Some chestnut logs for my hearth would be high on the list, there are certainly enough large coppice stems to provide for this. With some thoughtful management, the younger chestnut stools could provide further fuel in years to come. I would definitely plan overnight stays under canvas! Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence. <div align="center"><a href="https://www.woods4sale.co.uk/woodlands/south-east-england/1947.htm" target="_blank"><strong>View More Details</strong></a></div>
