Description

Charlton Wood forms the western portion of a larger woodland on the outskirts of the quiet and attractive village of Ulgham (pronounced ‘Uffam’) some 6 miles north of Morpeth. Newcastle is thirty minutes’ drive to the south, Northumberland National Park is a similar distance west and the coast is just 10 minutes to the east.

The wood lies on level ground with open aspects to north and south. The view north is over wide arable fields, whilst to the south there is a more intimate landscape of grazing meadows leading down to the River Lyne.

The wood was planted about 18 years ago. It is dominated by a strong-growing stand of ash and mixed hardwoods, within which are three smaller coupes of Scots pine towards the north side. The species mix is diversified with a number of minor species including rowan, beech, oak, cherry and a few shrubs.

A new car-accessible track leads to an area of hard-standing in the southeast corner of the wood, and there is also a right of access into the northwest corner, along with timber extraction rights along the north boundary. This access provision combined with a smooth and level terrain makes this one of the most easily-worked woods we’ve seen.

Charlton Wood now offers an attractive proposition to those interested in managing the development of a young wood on the brink of production.

If It Were Mine

I’d obtain a licence from the Forestry Commission for a first thin which should produce a healthy supply of logs for the hearth. A small clearing on the sunny south side would be a great locus for quiet recreation.
