Hiking

Old Spring Wood is not just any wood; it has proper history. It dates back to prehistoric times and has been managed since in a variety of ways. There are stone remains here, so perhaps it was used in the past for grazing stock. In the past, the wood was also known as the Chase of Nidderdale: used for hunting purposes.

Hiking

Old Spring Wood boasts a variety of plants, including ancient woodland species, numerous springs, and is located on a large slope with terraces formed by magnesian limestone. Very peaceful spot off the beaten track and away from the hustle and bustle of Brimham Rocks.
