Description

Horsieg Wood lies on almost level ground at the southwest corner of a larger 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.

Horsieg is the epitome of an English oak wood with full-canopied stems that have thrived here for well over a hundred years. The well-spaced trees allow plenty of dappled light to fall to the woodland floor enabling abundant soft grasses to carpet the glades beneath. Towards the east side there are a number of other species including birch, rowan, sycamore and ash. Occasional hawthorn and a peppering of fern completes the picture.

With a gentle southern aspect and open fields adjacent, this bright wood is frankly a delight. A newly-upgraded stone track gives easy car access all the way to a parking area in the wood, and smooth terrain beyond enables vehicles into most parts – handy for gathering firewood or delivering camping kit.

Our visit was accompanied by a number of local residents, some of whom appear in the photo gallery. Deer, woodpeckers and buzzards all call this place home.


If It Were Mine

If vigorous woodland management is your aim, don’t buy this wood. A little bracken control at the east end and perhaps a light re-spacing of the birch is all that is needed.

If however you seek an accessible, easily-managed, rural idyll in which to relax then this little gem is a real candidate. I camped among the oaks when surveying the property…gorgeous!
