About
About 42 hectares of ancient woodland above the Aire Valley, next to the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Look for the Bronze Age enclosure, cup and ring marked stones and part-carved millstones left by quarrymen centuries ago, plus fallow deer and nuthatches. There is also a BMX track and an accessible route.
