Throstle Nest Wood is an attractive woodland, comprised of mature deciduous trees, towards the northern end of Goldsborough Wood. It is conveniently located close to Knaresborough, within half an hour’s drive from Harrogate, and 40 minutes from central York and Leeds.

On arrival at the ride-stop, you are immediately among tall beech trees, along with a few large poplar trees too. A circular path leads off to the left and after a short distance, you arrive at a rustic bench where you can rest awhile, either looking out to the pasture land at the edge of the wood (ideal for enjoying an evening sunset) or back into the wood. The new owner may like to expand upon this glade and create a base for occasional overnight stays.

The footpath route crosses a few ditches on sleeper bridges through beautiful ground flora with bluebells, native ferns, honeysuckle, wood anemones and celandine. As you continue on, the path loops round, close to an old pheasant pen and a couple of fallen trees (natural climbing frames or firewood?), then arriving back at the ridestop entrance.

Aside from the larger beech and occasional poplar, the understorey is made up of hazel, ash regeneration, and hawthorn.

Please contact Liz Watson, the agent, if you would like to arrange a viewing.
