Bluebell Woods Tyne and Wear To Explore
Hedley Hall Woods
Location : Hedley Ln, Newcastle upon Tyne NE16 5EQ
This tranquil site is a mix of ancient woodland, which cloaks the long, narrow valley of Ridley Gill, and newer planting on former agricultural land where medieval farmsteads once stood. The wood is home to red squirrels and is brimming with birdlife. Address: Car park on Hedley Lane, Sunniside, Gateshead, 200 yards past the turn-off for Hedley Hall B&B.
Lands Wood
Location : Lands Wood, Gateshead NE21 6SF
An ancient woodland site consisting mainly of oak and birch alongside birch, beech, alder and rowan. An extensive path network allows good access and ground flora such as bluebell and dog violet provide colour in season. To walk the perimeter of the woods takes around 35 minutes.
Lazenby Bank
Location : The woodland can be reached on foot from the lay-by on the west-bound carriageway of the A174, immediately adjacent to Greystones roundabout. Head east from the lay-by on a surfaced track before turning south onto the Lazenby Bank Road; a bridleway which leads, for just 450 metres, to the entrance to Dave’s Wood.
The skyline to the south of Middlesbrough is dominated by a long, green, wooded slope stretching all the way from Wilton Castle to the rocky outcrop and cluster of radio masts at Eston Nab. This is Lazenby Bank, a beautiful and varied woodland; much of it under ash and oak trees, but also including plantations of beech and chestnut. There are swathes of bluebells and pretty patches of wood anemones to enjoy in spring. Despite its close proximity to industrial Teesside, the woodland is a quiet, natural sanctuary for wildlife and visitors.
Saltburn Gill
Location : From Redcar, take the A174 to Saltburn. Follow the road down Saltburn Bank onto the seafront, cross over the bridge, take the first right and park in the public car park. Walk towards the Northumbrian Water pumping station (the very large red brick building) and the signposted public footpath to the entrance.
Saltburn Gill is a wildlife-rich SSSI woodland set in a lovely secluded valley leading to the coast at Saltburn. A dense canopy of oak and ash trees shelter a winding path that runs the entire length of the valley and provides good opportunities to see all the reserve has to offer. In spring, showy yellow flowers of lesser celandine are shortly followed by carpets of strong smelling wild garlic and bluebells. Other plants to look out for include dog’s mercury, woodruff, bugle, moschatel and wood avens.
