Yellowstone wood

The majority of the wood was planted in 1826-7 by Miss J. Master, an ancestor of the present occupants. The name comes from the Powell’s Yellow School in Cirencester.

The main tree species in the wood are oak and ash. The ash would have been cut (or coppiced) every 15 years with the cut wood used to make sheep fences.

The wood now has a special trail which you can follow to find the wonderful sculptures along the way.

The woodland also provides a good habitat for wildlife. Predatory birds and insects help the organic farmer by eating crop pests.
