Description

Reivers Wood lies on level ground towards the west side 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.

The previous conifer crop was felled about 15 years ago. Restocking was achieved by a mixture of planted spruce and natural regeneration resulting in an attractive mosaic of spruce and birch plus occasional rowan, larch and willow.

The area is full of wildlife. Deer, foxes and badgers are all resident in the wider woodland. A range of songsters frequent the canopy, while red kites and buzzards patrol above.

A newly-constructed stone track gives car access all the way to a parking area on the west side of the wood, which coupled with the level terrain also promises easy management and extraction of woodland produce.

Reivers offers affordable access to ownership of a wood with plenty of promise situated in a most private and attractive corner of Northumberland.

If It Were Mine

I would thin the entire stand favouring both the best conifer stems and the most promising birch. This should create a woodland that is both visually attractive (with more light entering the canopy) and of enhanced timber quality. I would tie this in with the creation of a meandering path through the wood – perhaps connecting with a small clearing towards the centre for private recreation. 

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