The woodlands on the Hampton Estate extend to 1170 acres (475 hectares) and comprise a mix of conifer plantations, broadleaf and mixed woodlands and chestnut and mixed coppice of varying ages. Timber production is situated mainly on light sandy soils which allows for easy extraction during most of the year.

The woodlands are managed within a twenty year Long Term Forest Plan agreed with the Forestry Commission which is a comprehensive document detailing all aspects of the forestry management.

Traditional chestnut coppicing has been carried out on the estate for many years and provides home grown timber for quality fencing stakes, garden and landscape posts and a variety of gate posts and rails. These are all manufactured on the estate and available for purchase.

Woodchip for biomass heating installation or garden or park use is also sold direct from the estate, together with firewood and logs. These products are available throughout the year.
