About
Honley Wood is a peaceful area of ancient woodland just west of Honley, crossed by a network of footpaths towards Meltham Mills. Look out for snowdrops in late winter, old quarry workings, ponds and good views from the higher ground. Folly Dolly Falls and Meltham Mills Reservoir are a short walk away, and paths can be muddy after rain.
