Description

Dean Park Wood lies on level ground within a larger gated woodland just outside Northumberland National Park, midway between Morpeth and Rothbury. This private location is just 5 miles from the A1, giving easy access to Newcastle which is some 40 minutes to the south.

The wood is primarily composed of maturing larch which regenerated after the clearance of the previous conifer crop. The result is woodland of varying density from open patches on the west side to dense thicket. There is a small stand of birch in the north corner, while hawthorn and hazel are lightly scattered in the shrub layer. You will also find the occasional spruce.

The wood is well served by a recently constructed hard track off which there is a private parking spur and a couple of unsurfaced rides for internal access. There is also an unsurfaced track serving the south side - useful for timber extraction.

Dean Park Wood and the adjacent woodland are a haven for wildlife with songsters, bats, roe deer and much besides.

If It Were Mine

The first job would be to re-space the denser stands of larch to enable the best stems to grow on. I’d also consider felling a few small coupes within and re-planting with a range of broadleaves to diversify the habitat.

If energy allowed I’d also control the bracken areas on the west side of the wood – this would also then provide a spot for camping.

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