Situation - The woodland is situated about 2.5 miles north of Slapton village and 6.7 miles east of Kingsbridge in the South Hams area of Devon.

Introduction: Auction Guide £125,000 - The woodland extends to about 9.91 acres and comprises an attractive mixture of mature deciduous trees including oak, beech, sweet chestnut, alder and holy.

Throughout the woodland are levelled camping pitches which are secluded or benefit from pleasant outlooks. The land is navigated by historic pathways which have been cut into the hillside to allow for access to the river.

Within the woodland entrance is a small range of structures including a storage building, a compost toilet, a caravan and a number of wood stores. The storage building (9.58m x 4.34m) + (6.30m x 6.23m) comprises a timber frame with corrugated steel sheets to the sides and roof. The building suggests repair or replacement.

The woodland has been used to accommodate overnight camping and intimate outdoor parties but would suit a range of different uses including wildlife conservation and woodland management.
