Background/Access

Frith Wood is a large woodland that is divided into a number of ownerships.

The woodland is located on the western edge of Frith Wood adjoining a property called Woodland Farm but is accessed via a right of way over a woodland trackway off the Smarden Bell Road. The entrance to the wood is via a black barrier at the junction with Greenhill Lane (TN27 0SY).

The woodland is divided into 2 parts by a stream and extreme care should be taken when viewing the land. There is a plain wire fence to the eastern boundary but it is not known if this is in the correct position.

*The seller, who is a previous occupant of the adjoining Woodlands Farm, has left a number of items and small structures in the woodland towards the southern end including an old tractor and saw bench. These will remain in situ following completion.

Footpaths

A footpath (no AW174) crosses part of the land close to the northern end. The majority of the woodland lies to the south of the footpath with a small section to the north.

Designation

The woodland appears to be designated as a Local Wildlife Site and as Ancient Woodland.
