Welcome to Stoke Park!
Stoke Park is a beautiful woodland located at the heart of Bishopstoke and Fair Oak. It is a mixed woodland which includes many different tree species, from the easily recognisable Oak and Beech to the less well-known Wild Cherry and Japanese Larch. Due to the variety of species the trees from this wood could be used as many things such as telegraph poles, boats, oak barns, tables, fences and firewood.
The Woodland covers 99 hectares (244 acres) and has an interesting landscape including valleys, streams and attractive views from the northern edge across the adjourning farmland.
The Wood is full of interesting wildlife some of the more common animals you may either see or find evidence of are fallow, roe and muntjac deer, foxes, rabbits, bats, reptiles, butterflies and many species of birds. Look up and you might be lucky enough to see a Buzzard or Kestrel!
