Raptors galore! Woodland on edge of Derbyshire Dales on market with price tag of £36,000

      

It is not known which songbirds might nest in  Rowan Edge Wood

A BROADLEAF woodland with views across the Derbyshire Dales has been put on the market.

The price tag for freehold of the 1.55-acre Rowan Edge Wood, near Wirksworth, Derbyshire is  £36,000. 

Say the agents: "The skies above frequently host Red Kites, Buzzards and Hobbies, while, down at ground level, Badger, Fox and Roe Deer are regularly sighted. 

"After dark falls. the calls of the Tawny Owl and the high-pitched squeak of bats fill the summer nights." 

Could there also be Redstarts, Pied Flycatchers and Wood Warblers? Who knows

They continue: "The woodland is moderate to severely sloping with some flatter areas towards the top. 

While this does present some management and access challenges, with a little industry and a few weekends of graft, one could create some very useful plateaux. 

"This would make use of the flat space and take advantage of the incredible views over the dales, including the historic Wirksworth dream cave, a natural limestone cavern where 43,000-year-old Woolly Rhinoceros remains were found in the 1800s."
