Abbeybank Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Northumberland, a county in the northeast of England. Spanning approximately 40 hectares, this enchanting forest is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The wood boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna, with towering ancient oak trees, vibrant wildflowers, and a carpet of lush green moss covering the forest floor. It is home to various bird species, including the great spotted woodpecker, tawny owl, and song thrush. Visitors can often catch glimpses of squirrels scurrying among the branches or deer gracefully grazing in the clearings.

Tranquil walking trails wind their way through the wood, allowing visitors to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. The paths are well-maintained and clearly signposted, making it easy for visitors to navigate through the forest. Along the way, informative signs provide interesting facts about the wood's history, wildlife, and conservation efforts.

Abbeybank Wood has a rich heritage, dating back to medieval times when it was part of an ancient hunting ground. Today, the wood is managed by a local conservation organization, which ensures its protection and preservation. They also organize educational programs and guided walks to raise awareness about the importance of the woodland ecosystem and its biodiversity.

Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, a chance to reconnect with nature, or an opportunity to learn about Northumberland's natural heritage, Abbeybank Wood offers a delightful experience for visitors of all ages.

The stripey bikes of Riding Mill (1) The village of Riding Mill has hung out the flags in anticipation of the fifth stage of the Tour of Britain which is due to pass through the village on 10th September 2015. The practice of installing yellow bicycles along the route appears to have its origin in the British stages of the Tour de France in 2014. Here, the one departure from the norm is that the bikes in Riding Mill (and also in Haydon Bridge) are not pure yellow but painted in red and yellow stripes, those being the colours of the Northumberland flag. Another discrepancy is that the display of flags and banners at the western end of Riding Mill are facing west - away from the direction of travel of the Tour.
