The village of Bewerley recently won gold in Yorkshire in Bloom, and its not hard to see why with pretty cottage gardens lining the village.

An optional alternate route detours through the landscaped woodland of Fishpond Wood, once part of the Bewerley Hall estate and known for its picturesque lake and restored icehouse.

Explore the ornamental landscape of Hackfall Woods.  Built around views and discovery, Hackfall is a collection of steep paths and natural features, enhanced with follies and a dramatic fountain to create a rich and tantalising woodland that appears natural at first, but was in fact the work of Yorkshire landscaper John Aislabie.

Over recent decades the woods have been restored to their former glory and are now a Grade I listed garden.

Accessible from the nearby village of North Rigton, Almscliffe Crag makes for a delightful picnic spot, below the crag itself are grassy areas ideal for young children to play.

The rock top itself is accessible and offers a near panoramic view across the surrounding landscape.
