The West Yorkshire Woods: Part II is an original cartographic guide to
the Aire Valley’s woodlands from Castleford to Silsden. It covers large
parts of Leeds, Bradford, Shipley, Bingley and Keighley. Within and
between these urban areas is a surprising abundance of wooded
landscapes, from grand parks and plantations to swathes of ancient
coppiced woodland. This book maps them out and provides a wealth of
information on their rich history, as well as the flora, fauna and fungi
that can be found here.
Over twenty suggested walks are
included, all accessible by public transport. Intricate maps detail
interesting new routes through these woodland landscapes, often straying
from the beaten path.
