As the morning light rises behind the trees in Hamsterley Forest in County Durham, on an Autumn morning spraying rays of light across the trees.
Hamsterley Forest is a commercial forest in County Durham operated by the Forestry Commission. It is the largest forest in County Durham and covers more than 2,000 hectares (4,900 acres). Recreational activities are promoted within the forest and are focussed at the eastern end around the visitors centre. In addition to the visitors centre there is an adjacent cafe, an education room, toilet facilities and an independent bike shop called Wood'n'Wheels that also hires out bikes. It is also growing as a popular destination for mountain bikers with Danny Harts Descend World and many mountain bike trails to suit all abilities through out the forest.
