Description

Horse Wood sits in a peaceful rural location at the end of a private gated track on gently sloping ground with a westerly aspect adjoining other woodland.

The wood is located about a mile from Coalburns (near Prudhoe), with easy access to Hexham, about 12 miles to the west, and Newcastle 9 miles to the east, both a 30 minute drive via the A1 or A69.

The wood hosts stems of mixed ages and species, including conifer stands of pole stage larch and spruce, as well as broadleaves; notably mature full-canopy beech to the south and west edges, scattered ash, birch, cherry, and rowan as well as a number of long established oaks, ash, and Scots pine.

Woody shrubs including holly, hawthorn, and gorse can be found dispersed along the woodland edge, while on the woodland floor where dappled sunlight lands are areas adorned with ferns, woodland flowers and soft grasses.

On crossing one of the seasonal watercourses a picnic table sits below the elegant beech canopy – a lovely place to relax, watch wildlife, or set up camp for the night. The grassy glades adjacent are frequented by roe deer, while other residents range from hares and foxes, to pheasant and songbirds.

This diverse and enchanting woodland has wide appeal with its mix of stems, wildlife and amenity credentials.

If It Were Mine

I might thin the conifers in places, including those adjacent to the broadleaves.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
