Rigside Wood - SOLD, Northumberland - About 4¾ acres, £45,000
Rigside Wood, where the trees have been harvested in the recent past, has been replanted with a mixture of conifers including larch and Norway spruce. These young trees are progressing well and are complemented by an influx of naturally seeded native species including the white-barked silver birch, rowan, holly and hazel.
There is a fringe of massive mature Norway spruce and larch which frame the woodland dramatically. Stroll through the wood, feel your heart leap as a woodcock bursts from cover, take a moment to watch a hovering kestrel scanning the bilberry, stay a while, and make this wood your own.
Access: Is through its own wooden field gate off a small country lane. There is additional access through a second wooden gate then along a shared track to a ridestop leading to a turning area in the wood.
Sporting rights are included with the land.
Surrounding Area: Rigside Wood is part of a 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 purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
