About this listing

From the entrance to Crowfoot Copse, a clear route leads straight into the heart of the woodland along an old forest track. Within metres, you are enveloped by the sights and sounds of nature within the wood. Towering pine, oak and beech dominate the canopy, while holly and cherry provide screening for a number of delightful camping clearings. At the wood’s edge, the perfectly intricate foxgloves stand proud in brilliant pink, soaking up the sunshine in the open glades. It is unusual in this part of the country to be able to experience the satisfaction of woodland ownership on a manageable scale, while still having plenty here to explore and enjoy. Crowfoot Copse has a light and open feel and sits on level, well-drained ground. The mixed tree stock provides plenty of interest for nature, while there is abundant seasoned timber on the forest floor for the wood burner. The proximity of the River Avon to Crowfoot Copse is an undeniable draw for a host of birds, mammals and invertebrates. Wildlife Common water-crowfoot, with its small, pretty white flowers, is part of the buttercup family and belongs to a large group of aquatic plants that may be seen in the nearby ditches and streams feeding into the River Avon near Crowfoot Copse during the spring and summer. This forms part of a rich botanical offering that thrives within the woodland environment, revealing itself in many forms to the keen-eyed observer throughout the year. In particular, Crowfoot Copse and the surrounding woodland become an awesome sea of hazy purple iridescence during the spring weeks when the bluebells are in full bloom. Features In common with its woodland neighbours, the new owner of this wood will also enjoy the right to access and enjoy a further section of mixed woodland and riverside meadow along the banks of the Avon, which runs from the eastern boundary of Crowfoot Copse. This is perfect for fishing and boating, as well as providing a great opportunity to observe an even wider diversity of riverine wildlife from the water’s edge and fully appreciate its relationship with the woodland beyond. Access, tracks and footpaths Crowfoot Copse is situated in the most peaceful and secluded of settings, undisturbed by roads or public footpaths. Access is via a well-made track through neighbouring woodland to the entrance of Crowfoot Copse, where there is parking and access deep into the wood along a section of old woodland track. Rights and covenants As is the case for all our woodlands, the purchaser will be asked to enter into a covenant which serves to protect the peace and quiet of the woodland. Local area and history The area surrounding Crowfoot Copse lies within the delightful setting of the Avon Valley. This landscape of the southern Cotswolds tells the story of the profound relationship between the river and the surrounding towns, enriched by a long history of mills serving the wool trade, as well as the earlier presence of ancient Britons and Roman settlers in nearby Bath. The subsequent wealth and splendour of Georgian England owed much to the beauty of the area, nourished by this watercourse. This much-visited part of the country offers plentiful amenities for the woodland owner, from welcoming village hostelries to a wealth of local knowledge and expertise on hand to advise on woodland management.
