Off the beaten footpath - hiding in the woods..
Stoke Park is a beautiful woodland located at the heart of Bishopstoke and Fair Oak. It is a mixed woodland which includes many different tree species, from the easily recognisable Oak and Beech to the less well-known Wild Cherry and Japanese Larch. Due to the variety of species the trees from this wood could be used as many things such as telegraph poles, boats, oak barns, tables, fences and firewood.
The Woodland covers 99 hectares (244 acres) and has an interesting landscape including valleys, streams and attractive views from the northern edge across the adjourning farmland.
The Wood is full of interesting wildlife some of the more common animals you may either see or find evidence of are fallow, roe and muntjac deer, foxes, rabbits, bats, reptiles, butterflies and many species of birds. Look up and you might be lucky enough to see a Buzzard or Kestrel!
I had good fun locating a spot for this. It should be pretty easy to get to, although the paths and wooded area can become boggy when it rains. A favourite for muggles and their muggle-type dogs, so beware. Thankfully the spot itself is pretty well hidden amongst the undergrowth off the path.
Placed with the kind permission of the Forestry Commission.
