Sunnyside Wood, as might be imagined, is a warm southeast-facing woodland that contains a superb mix of hazel coppice with Douglas fir in a truly amazing and peaceful location. Definitely somewhere to relax and get away from the hurly-burly of modern life. Red deer, barn and tawny owls, buzzards and foxes reside here, signs of dormice have also been seen. Set on the valley side of a tributary of the otter-rich river Taw views can be enjoyed across the small valley. The local area is very rural with a beautiful landscape of small green fields, woodlands and picturesque villages. The small hamlet of Warkleigh has rather a fine church, St Johns Church and is well-worth a visit. Umberleigh caters for most of a woodland owner's needs, a country store, an Inn and a tea-room.
