Healey Dell Nature Reserve

👍👍 Beautiful walk on a sunny afternoon with my wife and kids. Not busy at all and we had a nice quiet walk where we could take our time and enjoy the views by the river and the kids even managed to put their feet in the freezing water for abit of fun! Be warned that one side of the river bank is a shee...

Skipton Castle Woods

👍👍 A Beautiful Easy Walk. Skipton Castle Woods, is of course in Skipton, North Yorkshire. Skipton is a gateway to the stunning Yorkshire dales. There are various directions you can go, depending how long a walk you want. Entry to the woods is via a small gate just up the road past the castle entrance....

Higher Slack Brook Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍👍 A tranquil retreat from the world, recharge your batteries and enjoy the simple things. This area of the reservoir is moor wooded and green and is truly lovely. Great for dog walkers, there is some kind of a boating club but I have not seen it open, but just for a lovely walk with not many people ar...

Brock Valley Picnic Site

Nature preserve

👍👍 Fantastic day out!! Parking isn't great worth going early. I'd take chairs due to the ground being peddled and very uncomfortable. House flies, ect, but expected anyway. Good for a day out with the kids or with the doggo. Kids loved exploring the water, peddle skipping, and also met some new friends...

Spring Wood, Whalley

Nature preserve

👍👍 Lovely walk we found in Whalley. Visited with the dogs due to staying nearby in a lodge. We found this park online and went to visit. Parking is £1 all day but as the machine wasn’t working it came to £1.20 on the RingGo app. Easy parking and easy to navigate around, not too strenuous, plenty of pat...

Hills And Hollows Local Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍 I decided to explore this nature reserve after seeing it on Google Maps. It was a 50 minute walk to get there on a bright Friday morning and it was definitely worth it once getting there. The bird song was amazing and the paths were well laid out and useable. I met very little people whilst walking...

Woodnook Vale Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

👍 What a great find for dog walking. Great track with various off shoot tracks to follow. Felt like we were in the middle of the country. Sadly lots of fly tipping at the start of the track

Lomeshaye Marsh Local Nature Reserve

Nature preserve

😐 Was only delivering to a building site there but Google keeps asking for a review of places I've been. So here goes. It's a building site for residential homes. Lots of mud. Very tight for an articulated lorry. Hope that helps.
