Description

Stonyflat Wood lies near the middle of a substantial broadleaf woodland known as Hyons Wood, two miles south-west of Prudhoe. Hexham is about 10 miles to the northwest and Newcastle a similar distance to the east. Both are easily reached in half an hour via the A69.

The wood occupies level and gently sloping ground in a shallow valley above the Stanley Burn, a tributary of the Tyne. It is served by a well-found 2WD track which links to a private parking spur on the north side of the property.

The principal species is birch, many of which are approaching maturity and sport elegant silver stems. In between there are a number of broad-canopied oaks, some scattered holly and the occasional sycamore. There are also some pockets of willow and alder. The understory contains a variety of regenerated saplings along with a good showing of hazel and the occasional hawthorn.

Thanks to the larger surrounding woodland (over 200 acres) there’s plenty of resident wildlife, both on the ground and in the air….badgers, foxes and tawny owls at dusk, buzzards in the day and a marvellous dawn chorus in springtime.

Stonyflat will appeal to those at home with a chainsaw or planting spade and a taste for quiet recreation in a generously-sized private green space.


If It Were Mine

There’s real scope to engage with a semi-natural woodland habitat here. A few small felling coupes in the birch would create opportunities to plant a wider range of native trees and shrubs, while some mechanical bracken clearance would enhance opportunities for the ground flora beneath. A campsite with fire-pit in one of the small glades also appeals.

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

Stonyflat Wood is almost a mile from the public road. A bicycle may assist viewing access.
