Great North Forest and the Woodland Trust have just marked the fifteenth anniversary of the acquisition and planting of Hedley Hall, near Sunniside with a fun-filled education day and a community celebration event.
The former agricultural site was the first to be planted in the Great North Forest. Since then it has flourished and is now a superb new, native woodland and site of nature conservation interest. The community event was also a way of showcasing the improved access and interpretation works that have been undertaken in Hedley Hall Wood over the past year, thanks to a £11,347 grant from Biffaward.
The wood is easily accessible from the Tanfield Railway from which you can take the Bowes Railway path to walk to Hedley Hall Wood. You can also start at the Causey Inn and follow Hedley Lane into the wood.
