Description

Harles Wood lies on the northeast edge of a larger conifer woodland set amidst the sweeping landscape of the Northumberland Moors a short distance outside the National Park boundary. The attractive villages of Ridsdale and West Woodburn are minutes away. Both have good pubs. A twenty-minute drive south gets you to Corbridge. Newcastle is a forty-minute drive to the southeast.

The moorland edge of the wood is primarily a belt of lodgepole pine. Between this and the track are some well-spaced Norway spruce, many with a pleasant open-grown form. Both are the result of an unharvested Christmas tree crop and are now maturing nicely.

Access is excellent thanks to the recently constructed hard track which runs along the entire west boundary. This track is readily accessible to 2WD vehicles but is of substantial construction and well able to support timber extraction. There is a useful parking spur near the middle of the wood.

Harles Wood combines accessibility with a wonderfully wild feel. The moors are all around and with its generous parking spur it makes a great base from which to explore the surrounding countryside.

SAFETY NOTE. The vicinity has been mined including parts of the adjacent woodland. While there are no reports of mines or entrances in Harles Wood itself, the historic mining plans are not exhaustive. Please take extra care when viewing.

If It Were Mine

The sheltered parking spur offers real scope as a base for recreation in a caravan or camper. I might thin some of the pine as a source of firewood while a bit of ground vegetation management among the more open spruce stems could create a sheltered camping site. I might also plant some fruiting trees and shrubs in the more open spaces to encourage the avian population.

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