THE WOODLAND
Tanlaw Wood was originally part of Hendersyde Park, a compact, early 19th-century estate with a parkland landscape. Tanlaw Wood was planted to provide interest and shelter on the north-eastern corner of the estate.

The North Approach runs through part of the woodland. This drive, flanked by the woodland for much of its length, was established in the mid 19th century and is no longer used for access to Hendersdye House.

The mature areas of the woodland comprises a diverse mixture of broadleaves plus an area of conifers.

The woodland extends to approximately 21.07 ha (52.06 acres) and is partially bordered by a high stone wall.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a woodland which can be enjoyed for amenity purposes.
