SITUATION
The woodland is positioned in an accessible location between Honiton and Cullompton, a short distance from the A373 and the Keepers Cottage pub.

The hamlet of Dulford lies one mile to the east and the village of Kentisbeare is 1.5 miles to the north of the wood. The M5 (Junction 28) at Cullompton is just over three miles to the west and the market town of Honiton is 8 miles to the east.

DESCRIPTION
The woodland is known as "Long Copse" by the current owner and was purchased for the purpose of running his woodsman's business specialising in ancient woodland management & restoration, charcoal production and to use as a base for running outdoorsmanship day courses. The wood totals approximately 3.50 acres (1.42 hectares).

In the past few years it has been lovingly restored to it's natural state encouraging not only herbivorous plants such a daffodils, bluebells, snowdrops, dog mercury, honeysuckle, primrose, wild strawberries and many more to make a noticeable comeback but has also has enticed a rise in the local wildlife population with sightings of countless songbirds, numerous corvid species including Blue Jays and a pair of nesting Ravens as well as numerous sightings of Woodpeckers, Tawny Owls and Buzzards.

The tree content is predominantly English Oak, Silver Birch, Sweet Chestnut, Ash, Holly and Hazel which has made plentiful nesting sites for numerous species of Bats among the ever present Grey Squirrels with other species such as Blackthorn, Hawthorn, Cherry and especially Elder drawing the attention of Badgers and Foxes. While Roe Deer are a common sight for those staying overnight and active in the early morning they have caused next to no damage with plentiful natural tree regeneration, particularly near the pond which is a vital resource for wildlife to drink from and for the local frogs and newts in which to reproduce.

This uniquely shaped parcel of woodland is a vital part of the local patchwork of countryside ecosystems and would be perfect as a recreation site with a well constructed campsite including a fire pit, small cosy cabin and outhouse with the local pub, the Keeper's Cottage, only a short walk away or for those whose passion is in conservation and fungi & berry foraging whilst enjoying the presence of wildlife.
