Description

Motlins and Romers Wood are situated just outside the village of Bockleton in Worcestershire. The woodland extends in total to 44.59 acres (18.04 hectares) and is available as a Whole or in 2 Lots.

Overview - Motlins and Romers Wood are situated just outside the village of Bockleton in Worcestershire. Approximately 4.4 miles from the Market Town of Tenbury Wells and 9 miles from the Market Town of Leominster. Both offering a wide range of shops and restaurants.

The woodland blocks are surrounded by rolling countryside at the end of a farm track.

The woodland extends in total to 44.59 acres (18.04 hectares) and is available as a Whole or in 2 Lots.

Lot 1: Romers Wood - Romers Wood extends to about 30.32 acres (12.27 ha) of undulating forest comprising mainly oak and ash.

The woodland exemplifies ancient woodland, spanning both a plateau and a steep southeast-facing slope that descends toward Cadmore Brook—a stream nestled in a steep-sided dingle. Within this woodland, you’ll find flora typical of ancient woodlands, including bluebells, wood anemone, and yellow archangel. The upper sections of the wood remain persistently damp and have been colonized by rushes, lady’s smock, and creeping jenny.

Along the Cadmore Brook, other damp areas host alders, meadowsweet, water avens, and opposite-leaved golden saxifrage. Notably, the Woodlands provide a habitat for various wildlife, including the rare Bechstein’s Bat and Dormice.

Lot 2: Motlins Wood - Motlins Wood extends to about 14.27 acres (5.77 ha). The woodland lies on a distinctive steep-sided bowl at the head of the valley of the Cadmore Brook.

The upper and western sections of the woodland are classified as ancient semi-natural woodland. These areas feature semi-mature oaks and ash trees, along with a diverse array of other species, including field maple and goat willow. Along the stream’s edge further downstream, you’ll discover meadowsweet, brooklime, opposite-leaved golden saxifrage, marsh marigold, and water avens.

The woodland teems with birdlife, including common woodpeckers, five species of tit, and several pairs of jackdaws and nuthatches. Additionally, wood warblers often establish nests here, and willow warblers have successfully bred in the new coupe areas.
