Description
This property, Rookham Wood, is a young and diverse woodland located in the Mendip Hills, offering breathtaking views and a truly wild feel. Despite being in its infancy, the woodland has already begun to regenerate with native species such as bluebells, wood anemone, and turkey tail fungi. The area is home to a variety of wildlife, including adders, sparrowhawks, and songbirds. The woodland has significant conservation and amenity potential, making it an opportunity for the right owner to leave a lasting legacy of ecological restoration. The property has undergone some felling and restocking in recent years, and there is an area of open ground suitable for establishing an orchard, forest garden, or wood pasture restoration project. The woodland requires ongoing management to ensure the saplings become established and the trees mature, which includes pruning, protecting against damage, and preserving habitat for reptiles.
