Sable Wood presents a unique opportunity to become a steward of a cherished local woodland on the outskirts of Farnham.

While Scots pine dominates the landscape, the woodland is also home to oak, birch, rowan, chestnut, Norway spruce, amelanchier (snowy mespilis), honeysuckle and holly. The woodland floor is covered predominantly by bilberry and heather, with a variety of mosses and broom. Public access is permitted, but only on well-defined footpaths.

As part of the larger Bourne Woods, Sable Wood serves as an essential wildlife corridor for fauna including roe deer, muntjac, fox, owls, bats, badger and smaller prey species wood mouse and field vole.

The area has a rich reptile and amphibian population including adder, grass snake, common toad and frog, common lizard and slow-worm, and supports a diversity of insects, fungi and lichen. A wide range of woodland birds inhabit the wood including woodpecker, goldcrest, nuthatch, treecreeper, cuckoo and owl.

Over the years, the current owners have carefully enhanced the woodland, introducing steps and walkways while preserving its natural regeneration and biodiversity. For more detailed information on the history, wildlife and management of Sable Wood visit - bacwood.com
