About

Bowden Housteads Wood is a council-owned woodland and Local Nature Reserve of about 31 hectares in east Sheffield, linked with nearby Carbrook Ravine. The Trans Pennine Trail runs through it, and you can spot quirky sculptures such as Iron Henry along the way. A handy green escape close to the Parkway.
