    The Land

    A rare opportunity to acquire 4.37 acres (1.77 hectares) of mixed mature woodland located in a peaceful, rural location within Dorset’s National Landscape. The woodland consists mainly of spruce and western red cedar conifers with a variety of native broadleaf species, including a number of mature oak trees to the south of the property.

    The woodland benefits from a hardcore track from the highway to the entrance of Trendle Woods, where there is space for parking.

    Situation

    The woodland enjoys a rural position. The County Town of Dorchester is 11 miles to the south and the popular Abbey Town of Sherborne is 8 miles to the north. Both offer a great range of amenities, including supermarkets, leisure facilities and mainline rail stations.

    Lyons Gate campsite is a short distance from the woodland and The Hunters Moon pub, located in Middlemarsh, is within walking distance via public footpaths.

    Directions

    From Dorchester, take the Westleaze road north towards Sherborne for approximately 11 miles. At the A352 junction, turn left towards Lyon’s Gate, approximately 400 metres from the turning, the access will be on the right-hand side.

    Access

    The property is accessed via a shared track, which a right of way is granted over, from the public highway (A352).

    The track is marked brown on the sale plan.
