Collinpark Wood SSSI
Collinpark Wood () is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1966, revised in 1974 and renotified in 1983.〔(Natural England SSSI information on the citation )〕〔(Forest of Dean District Local Plan Review, adopted November 2005, Appendix D 'Nature Conservation Site Designations Within the Forest of Dean District', Sites of Special Scientific Interest )〕 There was a boundary change in 1983. There are seven units of assessment. Unit 1 () is a area owned and managed by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. The trust purchased this part of the wood in 1979 with grant aid from WWF.〔Kelham, A, Sanderson, J, Doe, J, Edgeley-Smith, M, et al, 1979, 1990, 2002 editions, 'Nature Reserves of the Gloucestershire Trust for Nature Conservation/Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust'〕 The site is listed in the 'Forest of Dean Local Plan Review' as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS).〔(Forest of Dean District Local Plan Review, adopted November 2005, Appendix D 'Nature Conservation Site Designations Within the Forest of Dean District', Key Wildlife Sites )〕
The wood lies two miles north-east of Newent in rolling countryside near the River Leadon. The ancient woodland had been managed as coppice for many hundreds of years. Until the 1850s timber from it had been used to produce charcoal for the iron industry. The straight paths within the wood are likely to be tramways. Along the western edge of the wood owned by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust is a cutting and embankment. These are evidence of a failed attempt to build a railway line to link Worcester and the Forest of Dean coalfields.〔
The wood is sited on Triassic Keuper Marl rocks. These produce acid soils and influence the flora and fauna of the area.〔
==History==
A publication about the nature reserve includes a detailed history of the wood.〔'Collin Park Wood Nature Reserve – Dick Whittington’s ancient lime and oak wood', (undated) Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust〕 The Pauntley Estate, including what is now called Collinpark Wood, was owned by the Whittington family from mediaeval times to the 1540s. Richard (Dick) Whittington may have been born at Pauntley Court and is likely to have played and hunted in what was then called Pauntley Wood. In the 1540s Pauntley Estate passed to the Somerset family, and Saxton's map of 1577 shows Pauntley Park, indicating that the wood had been converted to a then fashionable deer park. The name Collinpark dates to around this time. In 1821 Pauntley was purchased by David Ricardo,MP. It was his son Osman who invested in the Worcester, Dean Forest and Monmouth Railway Company. The company failed and development stopped and various trees, including sweet chestnut, were planted in the abandoned area. This is now secondary woodland.
