Description

St John’s Wood lies at the northeast corner 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 occupies gently sloping south-facing ground which is bisected by a broad central gully running down to a small stream. The view north is over wide arable fields, whilst to the south there is a more intimate landscape of woodland, scrub and meadows leading down to the River Lyne and across to the village.

St John’s is dominated by maturing sycamore stems along with minor elements of ash. A few younger saplings populate the understorey along with occasional shrubs like hawthorn. The woodland floor is for the most part easily walked being a mix of soft grasses, bluebells and ferns with occasional patches of bramble.

Car access is excellent via a newly upgraded track leading to a private hard-standing area at the northwest corner of the wood. St John's and the wider woodland is host to a number of mammals like badgers and foxes, and roe deer also frequent the woods.


If It Were Mine

I’d obtain a licence from the Forestry Commission to thin the wood. This should yield useful volumes of firewood. I’d also consider felling some small coupes and then restock these with a variety of native hardwoods to diversify stand architecture and enhance the wood’s conservation status.
