The Ransom Wood story is one of business and nature living together. There is never a dull moment at Ransom Wood – we are lucky enough to be living with nature that is constantly delighting us.
We have 4 bee hives in our apple orchard – every so often a queen will decide to go for a bit of a day trip and come to rest on one of the trees – luckily the bee keepers are not far away. Outside my office, a tawny owl lives and often hoots at me in the day and tree creepers are busy. And if you sit by the window at Forever Green, you can watch the bird life like chaffinches and nut hatchers for hours. We also have Fallow Deer – our site has special fences that deer can walk through though once we had to rescue one that had got its leg caught. All this wildlife and wonderful woodland is enjoyed by our tenants and our brides – we do 40 weddings a year at Forever Green. Dog walkers also love the site and now Dogs can even enjoy their very menu at Forever Green. Of course there are many other groups that enjoy the site too such as the RSPB who we enjoy a good relationship with.

We’ve recently helped to rescue a little hedgehog who was in need of a bit of TLC over the Winter.

Say hello to our old man of the woods. Isn’t he great! He was carved for us by Mark Butler who has won several prizes for his work.
