>>2557377If you want real big woodland, you have 3 options:
>picrelA: Those plantation woods on the southern part of the moors. Pretty shit plantation, but it is pretty empty and on the edge of the moors so you have access to the amazing coastline
B: Grisedale. On the southern part of the lakeland, can get quite busy and is somewhat dispersed by small farmlands and also some buildings. Most of it is actualy ancient woodland though and it is far better quality than the other 2. Best to get there before summer peak season, but should be OK if you stay off the beaten path.
C: kielder. very huge, very empty. Just plantation. Nice views of the lake, though. Lots of wildlife including wild goats, marten, polecats, red squirrel and some other rare animals such as birds of prey. This is the largest and most isolated spot, but the forest is mostly sitka plantation.
