Access is over a tarmac track through a quiet residential development with a locked steel gate at the woodland entrance. The woodland stands on loamy soils with a mostly level topography level, but with some sloping areas adding to the structure.  The wood appears to have once formed part of the grounds of the adjacent Castleford House, but over the years, the stems have claimed this once-manicured land. Nonetheless, there are a number of attractive historical remnants dotted throughout, including a long rocky water garden that meanders partway along the western side under teh trees. Other interesting indications of days gone by are old stone steps, water gullies and stone outcrops.  The canopy comprises a wide array of species, including oak, ash, cherry, beech, sweet chestnut, Scots pine, yew and Douglas fir. The shrub layer contains areas of box, laurel, and rhododendron – an ideal natural screening for any plans to camp under the stars.  An area towards the southwest contains a good amount of ash that a new custodian could scope for a domestic fuel store. Ground dwellers found here include primrose, foxglove, common dog violet, snowdrop, hart’s-tongue fern and bracken. Mistletoe is also found in the mature tree canopy.  We noted on our visit that there are some areas of Japanese Knotweed which have established within the woodland. No management plan is currently in place regarding the treatment of this. Frequenting wildlife - badgers, hares, muntjac deer, hedgehogs and wood mice are known to the area, enjoying the tranquillity of the location.  Robin, nuthatch, blackcap, woodpecker and numerous harmonious songsters make up the feathered population. <div align="center"><a href="https://www.woods4sale.co.uk/woodlands/wibdon-wood--tutshill/12565/" target="_blank"><strong>Click here to view full details on the Woods 4 Sale website</strong></a></div
