Description

Eltringham Wood lies near the base of a hill at the extreme western edge of Prudhoe on north-facing ground. The town centre is one mile to the east. The A1 at Newcastle is about a 15-minute drive.

The wood is designated as Ancient Woodland and is dominated by a variety of mature broadleaves including oak, ash and sycamore giving way to willow and alder on the lower northwest edge. Beneath this is a patchy understorey of woody shrubs including holly and hazel.

Eltringham Wood benefits from frontage to Eltringham Road and also has a useful area of hardstanding adjacent – ideal for parking or small volume timber processing.

Some work is certainly needed to optimise this wood but you will be hard put to find another of this size and price anywhere in England.

If It Were Mine

I would clear some paths through the wood to improve internal access and look at harvesting the ash stems which are sadly diseased (as they are throughout the country)... the upside being that ash makes top-quality firewood.

A few bird boxes would encourage the local avian population.

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