The deciduous larch forms the main bulk of the trees in Carey Wood, these are supplemented by an area of similarly aged Scots pine. As the wood has been in existence for many years, a wide variety of native broadleaf trees have sprung up between the larger plantation varieties. Sycamore, birch and elm together with beech saplings are evenly distributed throughout. Understorey species holly, rowan and hawthorn, together with the occasional elder are dotted here and there. A line of majestic beech trees lines the northwestern boundary with the golf course.

Wildlife abounds in Carey Wood. Buzzards nesting in the valley are often heard calling overhead and are sometimes seen flying through the woods. Sparrowhawks also nest nearby and are frequent visitors there. The iconic red squirrels reside and feed in the scots pine canopy and signs of roe deer and other mammals are well in evidence. A local conservation group works within the woods to help ensure the red squirrels' continued survival.

The woodland floor is carpeted with sorrel and fern, it is an attractive place to find a spot to sit and watch the local residents; maybe a jay squawking noisily up in the canopy, or a dipper fishing in the stream, perhaps a deer, tense and alert, moving through the trees. As a guest in their home, patience is well rewarded with many a sighting.

The previous owner has installed a very well-built forest shelter of high standard, in order to facilitate the management of the woods. In addition to this extremely useful space, two small tool stores and a tepee style tent are included in the sale. A full list of tools and equipment included in the sale will be provided on viewing.

A small river, the Hell Beck, flows along the trackside boundary of the wood, this then enters the title of the wood before passing under the railway through an impressive victorian brick culvert. A wonderful enhancement to an already beautiful woodland it also adds to the variety of wild habitats present in the wood.

Access to the wood is via a double-gated entrance off the B6413. From there a well-built forestry track leads to the ride stop entrance to the wood. Within the wood, tracks lead to a level turning area and from there to the forest shelter and up along the golf course boundary. Although greened over these tracks have a good solid base and are suitable for vehicle access.

The sporting rights are owned and included in the sale.

Carey Wood is an ideal venue in which to spend time with friends and family, engage in a conservation project, watch the wildlife or harvest a supply of timber for the stove. An overnight stop in one of the open level areas would surely be rewarding as a large proportion of the resident wildlife is active throughout the darkest hours.

Carey Wood is very close to the location of a battle in 1570 known as the ''Battle of the Hell Beck''. Lord Hunsdon and Henry Carey, with their smaller army, defeated Dacre and prevented the fall of the West March of England. It was said that during the fighting the river ran red with blood thus giving rise to its name.

With the attractive market town of Brampton to the north and the Lower Eden Valley to the south, Beckside Wood is perfectly located. It is close to the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The wood is also a short distance from Talkin Tarn Country Park and Geltside RSPB nature reserve, there is a good selection of B+Bs locally.
