Byron Wood is a small, semi-ancient woodland nestled within the Cotswold Hills AONB. It offers an appealing opportunity for those interested in woodland ownership.

Extending to just under an acre, Byron Wood is perfectly suited as a peaceful retreat for anyone seeking a close connection with nature without the need for intensive management. Conveniently located a short distance from the main entrance along a wide track, access is straightforward. The northern boundary follows an open field to the north with lovely views beyond.

The woodland is well mixed, towering Sycamore are dominant throughout, interspersed with hawthorn, holly, hazel, field maple, and the occasional ash and yew. As part of the wider Dursley Wood, Byron benefits from a rich and diverse setting.

A private gated entrance leads into the wood, where a small camp area, storage shed, and shelter can be found—features that, with some updating, could provide a useful base. Several clearings are scattered throughout the site, offering ideal spots for camping, nature activities, or simply enjoying the tranquility.

The location is especially convenient, being only a short walk from the attractive market town of Dursley with its range of amenities. For wider connections, Gloucester lies just to the north and Bristol to the south, each about a 30-minute drive away.
