The wood is known for its diverse range of flora and fauna, with a variety of tree species including oak, beech, and birch dominating the landscape.

The wood is characterized by its dense canopy, which provides a sheltered habitat for numerous species of birds, mammals, and insects. It is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers, who come to observe the diverse wildlife that calls Ashburn Wood home.

Lone tree beside fence on route of Teesdale Way In this image Teesdale lies below, to the left. The dome of moorland partly obscured by the lowest bough of the tree extends to the west dividing the main Tees valley, which lies unseen in line with the fence, from Lunedale which lies to the left in the photograph.

Cottages at Woden Croft There's a collection of buildings at Woden Croft which lies high above the west side of the River Tees. The main house is out of view, behind the camera; of those seen here some, certainly, are used as holiday lets. The route of the Teesdale Way passes the buildings.
