Acornbank Wood is a picturesque woodland located in Northumberland, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. The wood is situated in close proximity to the historic market town of Hexham, making it easily accessible for locals and visitors alike.

The wood boasts a diverse range of flora and fauna, with a mixture of broadleaf and coniferous trees dominating the landscape. Ancient oaks, beech, and birch trees stand tall, forming a dense canopy that provides shade and shelter for a multitude of woodland creatures. The forest floor is covered with a carpet of vibrant bluebells in the spring, creating a breathtaking sight and attracting many admirers.

Acornbank Wood is also home to a rich variety of wildlife. Birdwatchers can spot a wide array of species, including woodpeckers, owls, and jays, flitting between the branches. Squirrels scurry along the forest floor and scamper up tree trunks, while badgers and foxes can occasionally be glimpsed in the early morning or late evening.

The wood offers a network of well-maintained footpaths and trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their leisure. These paths wind through the woodland, leading to peaceful clearings, babbling brooks, and secluded picnic spots. It is a popular spot for families, couples, and individuals seeking solace in nature.

Whether it's a leisurely stroll, a picnic with loved ones, or a chance to immerse oneself in the wonders of the natural world, Acornbank Wood offers a captivating and rejuvenating experience for all who venture into its embrace.

Former Manager's House, Spring View, Bedlington This house, which is a Grade II Listed building, was once the home of the Manager of the Bedlington Iron Works which lay approximately 1 kilometre down stream. It was built in the early part of the 19th century of tooled-and-margined stone with a Welsh slate roof. It sits high above the River Blyth with excellent views eastwards.

Victorian-Built Stone Terrace, Front Street East, Bedlington Whilst alterations have been made over time to this stretch of Front Street East, not least to the house nearest to the photographer which appears to have originally been a shop, the terrace retains much of its original charm.

Post Box, Front Street East, Bedlington This wall mounted box dating from the early part of the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) is one of the oldest post boxes in Northumberland, and Bedlington is an important part of British postal history. The first adhesive stamp, the Penny Black, and the official stationery, the Mulready wrapper, came into official use on 6 May 1840, but had gone on sale on 1 May. On 2 May, a letter was sent to an A. W. Blenkinsop at the Bedlington Iron Works using a Mulready wrapper, making it the earliest known use of a pre-paid adhesive stamp in Britain. Ironically, Mr Blenkinsop had died 9 years earlier so the letter was forwarded, with a 4 May postmark to his family in Carlisle. Mulready stationery describes the postal stationery letter sheets and envelopes that were introduced as part of the British Post Office postal reforms of 1840. The Mulready name arises from the fact that William Mulready, a well-known artist of the time, was commissioned to illustrate the part of the letter sheets and envelopes which corresponded with the face area. The plaque above the post box forms part of the Bedlington Heritage Trail.

'Gibson's', Front Street East, Bedlington Due to their links with the Bedlington Iron Works, the Gibsons were well known in the town. They were nail makers and, at their peak in the late
18th century, up to 12 men would sit astride anvils, cutting split iron from the works to make nails. One of the women of the family would carry a sack of nails 5 miles to market in Morpeth. The Market Cross in the town is often referred to as the nail, both due to its shape and in recognition of the importance of that this trade was to the town. Later, the Gibson’s dealt in hardware and even banking. Parts of the smart shopfronts, some of which have been converted for housing, survive in this sand-built terrace.

Plaque, The former Gardener 's Arms, Front Street East, Bedlington This plaque, which forms part of the Bedlington Heritage Trail, is affixed to the building that was once the Gardener&#039;s Arms. The town of Bedlington is known the world over for the breed of terrier that bears its name. They were first bred here in the early 1800s, and were popular for sport. By the mid 20th century, the terriers were the sixth most popular dog in the USA. The Gardener’s Arms was at one time owned by a Ned Metcalf, who was a famed Bedlington Terrier breeder and, ironically, the property is currently occupied by Robson &amp; Prescott Veterinary Surgeons.

The Old Vicarage, Bedlington This fine former three-bay vicarage, which is a Grade II Listed building, was built in 1835 with an earlier 18th Century predecessor retained but relegated to use as service wing. It stands slightly to the east of the Church of St. Cuthbert.
