About this wood

The site was acquired by the Trust on the 31st January 1995. The woodland is located in the Aire Valley approximately 1mile from the village of Calverley and on the edge of Greengates, a suburb of Bradford. However the wood is just within Leeds City Council boundary. Access to the wood from the south is via Clara Drive, which runs off the main road between Shipley and Leeds (A657). Access from north is via Parkin Lane and Eleanor Drive which link to the main road at Apperley Bridge, the A658.
