- Thrunton Wood provides wild views from the top of lofty crags in this inspiring corner of Northumberland
It is planted on and around two steep escarpments of sandstone - Thrunton Crag in the north, and Long Crag /Coe Crag to the south. These lofty crags provide spectacular viewpoints from which to admire the Northumbrian scenery.
Two exhilarating walks allow you to explore the miles of trails as they wind through the forest and across open moorland.
Mountain biking and horse riding are welcome in this wood.
However, Sadly, for now, there is only a relatively small area open to the public due to the ongoing cleanup from Storm Arwen over 2 years ago which hit the UK between 25 Nov 2021 - 29 Nov 2021 causing well over 1 million trees to fall in Northumberland alone.
Hopefully by Summer there will be more trails reopened to explore.
you can explore Thrunton Wood on two waymarked trails, both starting from the main car park. The Crag Top Walk (1 mile) is the shortest route, while the Castle Hill Walk (5 miles) is a more demanding route with a long ascent. Both routes will reward you with great views of the Cheviots from Thrunton Crags.
you can see how it looked from my video 2 years ago prior to the storm.

The very beginning of the video is the area at the start of this video which is now completely flattened! :(
I hope you enjoy this short wander. As always thank you so much for watching, don't forget to like and leave a comment (hopefully nice ones haha)
Take care my friends, until next time .........
