Northumberland Woodland Burial & Crematorium

Northumberland Woodland Burial & Crematorium located in the heart of Northumberland N.W.B.

Northumbrian Woodland Burials is located at Bockenfield Wood, near the village of Felton, in rural Northumberland. Part of a former World War 2 RAF base, planning consent was given for change of use of the land into a woodland burial ground and 16,000 trees were subsequently planted to lay the footprint of the site. Made up of a mix of indigenous Northumbrian broad leaf trees these are now starting to mature nicely after early losses from hares, rabbit and rodents. Despite its rural location the site has excellent road links directly off the A1 and the area is fairly level making access easy for all. is a small, independent, family run concern and is not affiliated or connected to any councils, religions or other large corporate organisations.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all members of the Royal Air Force and our community for joining us at Sunday’s Battle of Britain Memorial Service. Your presence honoured the bravery and sacrifice of “The Few” and ensured their legacy continues to be remembered with the dignity and respect it deserves.

Together, we paid tribute not only to those who fought so valiantly in our skies, but also to all who served and supported on the ground. Your support and participation made the service a fitting and moving commemoration.

Thank you for standing with us in remembrance.

With thanks to Michael Donkin for his photography.

After much shouting from the barn door it’s time to let our new arrivals out into the paddock…

Meet Eric, Keith & Floss. Our newest members of our Woodland Herd. So funny watching the rest of the goats be nosy and try to find out who is making all the new noise!

We are keeping them inside the barn together while they adjust to their new home and will be introducing them to the rest of the herd over the next few days.
