Description :
This former industrial site was planted with mixed
broadleaves and some
conifers in 1980. It is developing into an important landscape feature,
occupying as it does, the high ground to the west of the A653 Dewsbury Road,
north of Tingley roundabout. The woods were first thinned in 1993, to benefit
tree stocks and wildlife. A
Public Right of Way is accessible for pedestrians
and passes through the wood.
The woods comprise mainly of
birch,
Sorbus,
alder,
Robinia,
oak and
Corsican pine tree species.
Access and facilities :
A public footpath links the woodland from the A653 Dewsbury Road and Southeast
Morley.
