Prescott Pinetum

Prescott Pinetum, (also known as The Pinetum, Uplyme Pinetum and Woodhouse Pinetum), sits on a north east facing slope, and as such is clearly visible from the village of Uplyme, and the B3165 (Lyme Road) across the valley, as well as to the houses in Woodhouse Fields immediately to the east of the wood. Despite its name, the majority of the wood is oak woodland, with the Pinetum area restricted to the lower slopes in the central portion of the wood. Exotic Conifer and broadleaved species have previously featured in the Tree Register of the British Isles, with some listed as 'Champion' trees for their size. However the last survey was taken in 1983 and needs updating.
