Located about 6 miles south of Doncaster and divided by the M18 motorway in south Yorkshire, Wadworth Wood is a mixed woodland benefitting from superb access and containing an abundance of firewood.
South of the motorway the woodland is dominated by
broadleaves, namely beech, oak, sycamore and ash, although
conifers also feature and include Corsican pine, Scots pine,
Lodgepole pine and Japanese larch.
xx
Generally the broadleaves in the southern wood are mature
and will provide good firewood returns over the coming years.
In particular there are some impressive stands of well-thinned
beech planted in the 1950s and these make for some of the
most attractive parts of the wood. Recent years have also
seen several compartments felled and restocked with
broadleaves beginning the next cycle of timber production and
creating a more diverse age structure throughout. The restock
areas seem to be performing well, particularly the oak. A
management plan is in place covering the woodland to the
south of the motorway and runs to 2028. A copy can be
provided by the Selling Agents upon request.
xx
The woodland north of the motorway, known as North Dale
Wood, is more commercial with conifers featuring more
prominently. Again, this is mostly pine alongside sycamore,
beech, ash and oak.
xx
North Dale Wood is let on a 999-year lease dating from 1st
November 1951 at an annual rent of £7.98. Further details,
including the lease, can be provided on request from the
Selling Agents.
xx
Access is a strong point with the wood best accessed via
Woodhouse Lane to point X on the sale plan but also
benefitting from access at point Y and over routes AB and CD.
Further, internal access is excellent via a series of tracks and
rides.
xx
The entirety of Wadworth Wood (including North Dale) is of
ancient origin with the majority classified as a Plantation on
Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS) and the remainder, a small
section in the southern wood, classified as Ancient and
Semi-Natural Woodland (ANSW). These designations indicate
the land has had trees growing continuously since before
1600AD. Ancient woodland o?ten benefits from enhanced
grant aid to assist with managing the wood to maintain or
restore its status as Ancient woodland.
