Situation

Description
The land measures approximately 9.14 acres (3.70 ha) and comprises an attractive block of mature broadleaf woodland that has been well managed. There are several open clearings with low lying vegetation. It is a fine example of a highly biodiverse Ancient Woodland and over the years the vendor has recorded almost 120 different plant species, including 28 different trees and shrubs.
The Ancient Woodland classification means the wood is more protected from certain types of development and uses, such as the construction of permanent structures and business activities which would permanently damage its biodiversity. The Vendor would encourage interest from those wishing to continue the sympathetic use and management of the woodland.
The wood has direct vehicular access via Cinderford Lane through a double metal gate. Access is via these gates which can be either climbed or there is space at one end to fit through.
