Description

Lyne Wood lies on the northwest side of larger mature woodland overlooking a stand of newly-planted broadleaves to the north. The wider woodland is surrounded by rolling farmland. Rothbury is about 20 minutes to the north and Morpeth a similar distance to the south. Newcastle is about 45 minutes by car.

This varied little wood harbours dense thickets, single stems and delightful open glades. The mature areas are principally composed of oak and birch plus the occasional elm and Norway spruce. A variety of woody shrubs occupy the under-storey including hawthorn, hazel and elder. Some younger mixed broadleaves occupy the northern fringes including willow and alder.

The signature elements of Lyne Wood are the most attractive meadow areas which were ablaze with bluebells when we visited.

Lyne occupies level and gently rolling terrain making for easy access to most parts. Tranquillity is pretty much assured in this private location, and the wider woodland has become something of a refuge for wildlife. Deer, badgers, hares and bats are all resident and the wood is invariably alive with birdsong. We also saw pheasant and woodcock and heard lapwing and curlew in adjacent fields.

The woods are served by a substantial and well-proven track from the public road. This connects with a newly constructed track in the wider woodland suitable for 2WD, leading to a private parking spur near the southwest corner of the wood.

If It Were Mine

The first job would be to control the bracken. I would use mechanical means (rather than chemical) to ensure the swathes of bluebells beneath were not damaged. That apart, this little corner of paradise is ready for immediate enjoyment….early summer BBQs among the bluebells…camping in the glades. You get the picture!

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

• Walk round the wooden gate at B and follow the track ahead for 250 metres to enter the mature woodland at C.
