Description

Allery Copse lies either side of the Allery Burn on the east side of a larger conifer wood. It occupies gently sloping ground just south of the picturesque hamlet of Birtley amidst a wider landscape of rolling fields and woods. The A68 is 5 minutes to the east and the A69 at Hexham is 15 minutes to the south, giving easy access to this quiet location.

Allery Copse is a wood of two halves. Entering the wood to the west brings you into a glade of widely spaced mature oak stems, beneath which are occasional stools of hazel, some of which have been coppiced. Across the burn the damper conditions have encouraged a variety of riparian species including birch, willow and alder, along with a variety of shrubs and an open area of rushes, making a wonderful and diverse habitat for a range of songsters. A recently-planted beech hedge along the roadside is establishing well.

The wider woodland and the adjacent mixed habitat is rich in wildlife. Aside from the usual array of woodland birds and mammals it is also on the fringe of the Kielder red squirrel protection area.

Access is taken directly off the public road. A small amount of work at the entrance would enable a vehicle to pull into the wood itself. The west section boasts a clean woodland floor making for easy access on foot. The eastern section is currently more challenging with much being under thick scrub.

Conservation projects and quiet recreation are both in prospect for the new owner of this attractive and varied little woodland.

If It Were Mine

A tent and campfire beneath the oaks is certainly on the cards. Looking across the stream I’d be tempted to thin out some of the scrub, form a path and possibly diversify the species with a little enrichment planting. I’d want to erect some bird boxes and perhaps an owl box in one of the oaks. A small pond is also tempting and the roadside beech hedge will benefit from regular shaping as it develops.

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