Description

As its name implies Crossway Copse occupies the junction of former wagon-ways which supplied the historic limekiln below. It lies on north-facing ground with broad views over the North Tyne Valley. The A69 is 10 minutes to the south giving easy access east and west to Newcastle and Carlisle, both of which are about 40 minutes by car.

Hadrian’s Wall lies a short distance uphill to the south, and a number of attractive villages offer local facilities nearby. The regional centre of Hexham is about 15 minutes away.

The topography of this wood is punctuated by the routes of the old wagon-ways which carried ore to the limekiln. The bustle of industry is now replaced by green tranquillity. The wood is primarily stocked with mid-rotation ash and Norway spruce, supplemented by the occasional cherry and elm. There is a light scattering of hazel, elder and hawthorn in the shrub layer. Open fields surround the wood and there are broad views to the wider Northumbrian countryside beyond.

A well-found stone track leads to a private parking spur within the wood, above which is a levelled camping area where the current owner has also sited a small pond and tool shed. Above the ‘crossway’ there is a second pond fed by a small stream. The small triangle of woodland to the east of the sale area is untitled – consideration could be given to applying for possessory title.

Crossway Copse offers a wealth of interest with silviculture opportunities, quiet amenity and an intriguing industrial past.

If It Were Mine

The ash and spruce would both benefit from thinning. The pond above the crossway shrinks in dry weather so I would consider lining it to maintain the water level and then clear peripheral trees to enhance light levels and amenity. The occasional night under canvas at the levelled camping area certainly appeals.

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