Oakham Woodlands


  • Location plan for Oakham Woodlands parking - SK840074 - view in Multimap or Streetmap format.



This is a series of small Woodland Trust sites clustered across the hill tops above Rutland Water on the outskirts of Oakham and near to Brawnston in Rutland. There is a mixture of meadows with gorse thickets, mature copses and newer plantings. Gorse Field Wood is about 20 acres, Harris Grove and Balls Meadow add another 14 and The Seek is 27 giving 61 acres in all, with paths through pastureland linking them. The acquisition of a nearby field in 2008 with some assistance by the club added a further 30 or so acres.
