Spen Valley Greenway Metal Sculptures

Highlight • Monument

There are lots of interesting artworks made from scrap industrial metal along the Spen Valley Greenway. You can rest your legs on a hand-crafted metal bench and throw away your picnic waste in a unique rubbish bin.

The flock of ‘Swaledale Sheep’ made from recycled industrial scrap by Sally Matthews are one of the highlights on the way. The impressive sculptures overlook the green rolling hills of West Yorkshire.

Sunflower Pot Cafe

Highlight • Cycleway

This is a lovely place to ride and plenty to see on the way down. You can ride to Dewsbury or Mirfield and it is all tarmac and an easy ride. It is uphill all the way back mind you.
There is a café actually on the Greenway called the coffee counter. There are tables outside small but very welcoming. There is also a toilet.

Rotate Sculpture on Spen Valley Greenway

Highlight • Cycleway

There are many things to see down the Spen Valley Greenway.
Shake the first ring then the rest one by one and by the time you have got back to the beginning the first one should still be moving, go on try it. lol

Dewsbury Country Park

Highlight • Cycleway

Opened in 2012 on an old landfill site, Dewsbury Country Park is a wonderful example of how nature can reclaim an area when allowed. Lots of trees have been planted on the site to form the biggest new wood in northern England. The park covers 188 acres, 101 of which will be woodland. There's a network of footpaths and cycle lanes through the park.

This is the Bridge at the end of the Greenway if you ride across it takes you onto the canal tow path. Carry on and it will take you to Horbury, Wakefield and beyond.
