Fownhope Park Woodland

Set within the rolling landscape of the Wye Valley National Landscape, Fownhope Park Woodland offers a rare opportunity to acquire over 188 acres (76.33 Hectares) of beautifully structured woodland, rich in natural, commercial, and historic value.

Located just outside the village of Fownhope – 6 miles from Hereford and 23 miles from Gloucester – this strategically positioned woodland benefits from excellent access and well-established timber extraction routes.

A Woodland with Character and Commercial Value

  • Mixed Species Planting: A strong conifer element in the northern third – including Douglas fir, Norway spruce, and Scots pine – offers valuable timber potential. The central and southern sections are predominantly native broadleaves including oak and ash.
  • Recent Restocking ensures continued productivity.
  • Ancient Woodland Status: The site is entirely designated as Ancient Woodland, with both ASNW and PAWS areas, offering biodiversity value and access to enhanced woodland grants.
  • SSSI Designation: The southern portion is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, home to a diverse range of native woodland ground flora.

Practical & Professional Appeal

  • Sporting rights included, currently let to a deer management syndicate until June 2025.
  • Mineral rights included.
  • Access is proven via existing timber haulage routes.
  • The woodland is under current felling licence (valid to 2029) and is actively managed by Tilhill Forestry, who are available to advise new owners.

A Site of History and Natural Beauty

Adding further depth to its appeal, the site also includes Cherry Hill Camp, an Iron Age hill fort designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, enriching the site’s heritage credentials.
