Seven Northumberland forests to fully reopen for the first time since Storm Arwen in time for summer holidays

A number of forests in Northumberland which have been closed due to damage from Storm Arwen are set to reopen ahead of the summer holidays.

The storm hit in late November in 2021 causing travel chaos across the region. Thousands of homes were left without power in Northumberland, some for as many as two weeks.

Forests were severely affected with around one million trees uprooted overnight by the 100mph winds. Many closed due to downed power lines and blocked access, with some of the county's forests remaining closed even now.
