Description

Kimberly 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 east side of the property.

The woodland canopy is primarily composed of scattered oak stems set amidst a mosaic of birch. Other species present include beech, rowan, alder and holly along with some willow on the lower north side. The understory contains a variety of regenerated saplings along with a good showing of hazel and the occasional hawthorn. Being well-spaced means many of the stems are full canopied and they open out still further into small grassy glades in a number of locations across the wood.

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.

Standing in its leafy shade it’s hard to believe the wider woodland was a working coal mine until the middle of the last century. Kimberly is now a haven of privacy and tranquillity.

Safety Note: Due to historic mining activity in the wider woodland there may be unknown entrances and fissures which are not visible on the surface. There is no definitive plan of mining activity. Please take extra care when viewing.

If It Were Mine

Felling a few of the birch would open up some coupes where I could then plant a variety of native trees and shrubs as well as providing excellent firewood for the campfire.

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