Sharperton Edge Plantation is a picturesque woodland area located in Northumberland, England. Covering an extensive area, it is known for its dense forest and diverse range of tree species. The plantation is situated on the edge of the village of Sharperton, surrounded by rolling hills and breathtaking natural beauty.

The woodland is primarily composed of deciduous trees, such as oak, beech, and birch, creating a harmonious blend of colors during autumn. These trees provide a rich habitat for various wildlife, including birds, squirrels, and deer, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

In addition to its natural beauty, the plantation holds historical significance. It was once part of the extensive hunting grounds of the nearby Sharperton Hall, which dates back to the 15th century. The remnants of an old hunting lodge can still be found within the woodland, adding a touch of nostalgia and intrigue to the area.

Sheepfold in a pasture Sheepfolds are generally enclosures where the sheep can be held or processed. These crossed walls provide protection from the weather from any direction. The River Coquet meanders in the valley.
