- Mixed semi-ancient woodland
- Seasonal ponds
- Vehicle access
Capstan Wood is a mixed semi-ancient woodland set within the South Downs National Park on the outskirts of Arundel.
Upon entering the woodland, towering Scots pine surround you but as you wander deeper into the space a wide variety of species can be found. Clear footpaths lead you in and around the site passing through wide clearings and glades. The well-spaced pine allows lots of light into the wood allowing the understory to naturally regenerate and bluebells carpet the floor in season. The ground is flat throughout making it ideal for camping and woodland activities.
While Scots pine is dominant, further to the east, a wide variety of broadleaf are present including oak, chestnut, birch, hazel, ash, alder, sycamore, hawthorn, holly and the occasional yew. Several seasonal ponds have formed in this section of the wood providing a wealth of biodiversity. Buzzards and woodpeckers are common in the woodland and the ponds provide a wonderful space to sit and enjoy the wildlife.
Locally, the White Swan pub is within walking distance as is Arundel itself, a historic market town with pubs, restaurants and numerous antique shops. The coast is just a short drive away.
At 4½ acres, Capstan Wood is a very manageable size and would suit those considering the possibility of owning a woodland.
