Description

Todburn Wood occupies flat ground on two levels with moderate banking between. It lies on the west side of an attractive stream at the end of a private track in a gated woodland just outside Northumberland National Park, midway between Morpeth and Rothbury. The A1 is 5 miles away giving easy access to Newcastle which is some 40 minutes to the south.

Todburn was felled of its previous conifer crop about 15 years ago. It was then restocked with spruce but the majority is now dominated by naturally regenerated birch with minor elements of ash, larch and rowan. The wood benefits from extensive open streamside terraces (covered with bluebells in spring), fringed with riparian hardwoods including oak, alder and ash.

An excellent newly-constructed stone track gives car access all the way to the north corner of the wood where there is parking and a turning area.  From here there is easy pedestrian access into most of the property, while a ride along the northwest edge should prove useful for timber extraction.

Lying at the end of the track, Todburn occupies a most private location being variously surrounded by farmland, running water and other woodland. Unsurprisingly this quiet spot is a haven for wildlife. During our visit we saw a variety of fauna including roe deer, buzzards, pipistrelle bats and a green woodpecker.

This wood is definitely one to enjoy. There is also plenty to occupy the enthusiast with the opportunity of steering the direction of its development as it heads towards productive age.

If It Were Mine

An early job would be to control the bracken near the stream…I’d then spend considerable amounts of time there! Respacing the main broadleaf area would encourage stem development and the consequent increased light levels would enhance the woodland flora.
