This part of Devonshire is steeped in history and woodland is an important part of this. Winkleigh, the local village found a couple of miles north of Pipistrelle Wood, takes it's name from two Saxon words - 'wincel' meaning 'corner' and 'leah' meaning 'clearing in a forest'. Even closer is the village of Broadwoodkelly, another clue to the importance of woodland in the area, taking part of it's name from the Kelly family who held the manor here.
The woodland was most likely planted sometime in the 1960's and has since thrived in the fertile soil to form a glorious native woodland.
Running along the western boundary is a fast flowing clear stream which arises from a nearby spring which eventually joins the river Okement near the village of Jacobstowe.
The wood has been named Pipistrelle as in the locality there are many old barns and farm buildings which are perfect for the pipistrelle bat - one of the 18 species of bats found in the UK. Trees and hedges are very important for pipistrelles as they provide cover for them when bats emerge from winter roosts and they use woodland edged for navigation when foraging.
