Clifton Wood presents a rare chance to acquire a characterful and varied woodland setting on the edge of the Mendip Hills, just a short drive from Bristol.
The woodland is attractively mixed, with impressive oak and beech dominating the central areas, with a scattering of ash, hawthorne and holly at lower levels. To the east, an open ride runs north to south framed by tall conifers providing striking contrast while providing additional access for management purposes. The occasional yew can also be found dotted throughout the wood and alongside the old stone wall that marks the northern boundary.
The land is level and well drained, making it easy to explore. Clear woodland paths guide you around the site, connecting several open glades. One glade features a substantial teepee complete with a log burner, included in the sale.
Deer frequently pass through from the wider Wrington Warren, of which Clifton Wood forms part, and are often seen moving quietly across the landscape.
The woodland benefits from excellent year-round access and generous parking within the site itself. Extending to approximately 3.5 acres, Clifton Wood would make an ideal introduction to woodland ownership and management.
Nearby, Goblin Combe Nature Reserve is within walking distance and offers enjoyable outings for all ages. The town of Nailsea is only a short drive away for everyday amenities, while the city of Bristol provides a wide range of shopping, dining and cultural attractions within easy reach.
