Cutmere Wood

Railway Bridge over the A38 at Trerulefoot The A38 is a major A-class trunk route. When first designated in 1922, it ran from Derby to Plymouth but it was later extended at both ends so that it now runs for 292 miles from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire to Bodmin in Cornwall.

Prior to the opening of the M5 motorway in the 1960s and 1970s, the A38 formed the main "holiday route" from the Midlands to Somerset, Devon and Cornwall and the south-western section was notorious at holiday times for the congestion. Nowadays, for most of the southern section, the A38 is a fairly quiet road shadowing the M5 extremely closely; often running alongside the motorway as a single carriageway road. The section between Exeter and Plymouth is, however, a busy dual carriageway which serves as the southern extension of the M5 and is known as “the Devon Expressway”.

Cutmere Wood is a charming woodland located in Cornwall, England. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of the Tamar Valley, this forest offers a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts and outdoor lovers alike. Spanning an area of approximately 50 hectares, Cutmere Wood boasts a diverse range of native trees, including beech, oak, and hazel, which create a dense canopy overhead.

The woodland is characterized by its enchanting atmosphere, with sunlight filtering through the foliage, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. A network of well-maintained footpaths meanders through the wood, allowing visitors to explore its hidden corners and discover the abundance of flora and fauna that call it home. Bluebells carpet the forest floor in spring, creating a stunning display of vibrant color, while in autumn, the woodland is adorned with a mosaic of hues as the leaves change.

Cutmere Wood is not only a haven for plant life but also a sanctuary for various wildlife species. Birdwatchers will delight in the opportunity to spot rare and native birds, such as woodpeckers and tawny owls, among the trees. Squirrels can be seen scurrying up and down the trunks, gathering food, while deer occasionally make an appearance, adding to the sense of tranquility.

Visitors to Cutmere Wood can take advantage of the picnic areas and benches that are scattered throughout, providing the perfect spot to rest and soak in the natural beauty. The wood is easily accessible, with ample parking available nearby, and there are also guided walks and nature trails for those wishing to learn more about the woodland's ecology and history.
