What to do and see in Yorkshire, England: The Best Forests

August 9, 2021 Nobuko Falco

Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom. Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region. The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military, and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire.

Reviewed By mattfP1498KM - Sheffield, United Kingdom

A lovely little wood tucked away on the hillside. Favourite time of year is spring when there is a beautiful carpet of bluebells and the variety and volume of birdsong is impressive, but every season has its interests. Always wildlife to see including foxes, squirrels and deer. I visit at least weekly for a short walk or to get through to graves park to which it is connected.

Beautiful woods with signposted walks to the left and right sides of Whirlowdale Road. Lots of dog walkers. Sometimes you encounter horseriders as it has a bridle path. Small streams run through the woods and the sound of splashing water makes it more enchanting.

Dalby Forest

Reviewed By Professional468 - Leeds, United Kingdom

I went with my partner who was wanting to try mountain miking on trails and downhill etc. We have done a fair bit of mountain biking, but generally more canal path and cycle track on disused railway lines etc We looked at the map and decided on the blue route. The long uphill at the start was hard work. But we only really got our bikes back out 3 weeks ago, so are still a long way from being fit. Then there was a really enjoyable mixed middle bit. Single track in the main, varied and fun. I found the end section too steep and technical and had to walk that part, which left me feeling disappointed. But if you have more confidence, then I’m sure it would be fine. My other half enjoyed it. There seems to be something for everyone. A lovely venue and we will go again, but I think we will try the long green route next time ????
