About this listing

Granvilles Copse is accessible by car along a good stone track, sound throughout the year, which leads to, and forms, all of the Eastern boundary of the wood. Close to the Peak District National Park, Granvilles Wood is level with good foot access beneath tall, straight-grown trees. The wood was replanted in the 1960s but it is also an ancient woodland site, with lots of signs of the original native woodland that has been documented as growing at this location as far back as the 1600s. The conifers are reaching maturity and could yield some wood suitable for timber based projects or firewood. There are a few tall birch and oak trees growing amongst the pines, making the woodland quite varied. Some coppiced oak and hazel form the under-storey, that together with younger birch, rowan and holly, provide winter food for woodland birds. Pine needles cover the woodland floor and through this fragrant leaf litter, quite a few self-seeded holly bushes are emerging: ferns and bramble patches are providing low cover for small birds including wrens that dart in and out of the safety of this undergrowth. Standing dead-wood reveals the tell-tale marks of feeding woodpeckers and the forest floor is scattered with the gnawed remains of many a pine cone, clearly rich pickings for squirrels. Trees Corsican pine, Larch, Oak, Rowan, Holly, Horse Chestnut. Wildlife This rich patch of woodland with all its fruiting trees is a haven for birdlife; during spring and early summer, the whole area is alive with bird song. Features A solid stone track runs to the wood, along the eastern boundary. Within the wood are a number of foot tracks. A public footpath runs just outside the eastern boundary and also inside the southern boundary of the wood. Rights and covenants A public footpath runs along the southern and eastern edge of the wood. The sporting rights are included in the sale. 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. Activities Great for wildlife observation, it would be valuable to add bird and bat boxes and perhaps put up trail cameras to see what visits. A home firewood supply and bushcraft activities, Granvilles Copse is a very versatile place that has lots to offer the new owner, whether passive or active. Local area and history The Peak District National Park was the first of the English National Parks, established in 1951 to protect its stunningly beautiful scenery for leisure and enjoyment. Laying at the southern tip of the Pennines, the name is derived from ‘peac’ meaning hill and the Park’s symbol is a millstone, made from gritstone that is over 300 million years old.
