Greenridge Wood - SOLD, Northumberland - Over 5½ acres, £39,000
Greenridge Wood is a quiet open wood situated in the lush Tyne valley. On entering one is immediately in an area of striking mature larch mixed with silver birch and the occasional oak. Light easily penetrates encouraging self-seeded holly and broom together with a wide variety of woodland flower species. A short track leads to the heart of the wood ending in a level turning area, providing vehicular access and possibilities for camping.
Glimpses of the opposite wooded ridge can be seen though the canopy. A small stream meanders through the wood providing habitat for mosses, ferns and aquatic fauna. Spring water comes under the lane from an open collecting tank. Deer tracks lead down to the contrasting and more recently planted area of vigorously growing spruce and birch. This is shown at a much earlier state of growth (just after planting) in the aerial photo.
Access: Is through a wooden field gate off the small country lane with a track leading down to a turning area in the wood. Internal access is via newly cut paths through the trees.
Sporting rights are included with the land.
Surrounding Area: Greeenridge Wood is part of a much larger area of woodland which runs down to the River Tyne. The Tyne is considered to be England's best salmon river which together with sea trout runs gives the opportunity for excellent fishing. This is a quiet rural setting with many public footpaths with good walking. Nearby is Hadrian's Wall with the more challenging Hadrian's Wall long distance path.
The attractive market town of Hexham with its historic abbey lies a short drive away. Rowing and canoeing are popular from Tyne Green riverside park.
The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
