Cow Close Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in the heart of Yorkshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it forms part of the larger Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The plantation is characterized by its dense vegetation and diverse array of tree species, making it a haven for wildlife and a popular destination for nature enthusiasts.

The woodland is predominantly composed of broadleaf trees, including oak, beech, and ash, which create a vibrant and colorful canopy during the summer months. These trees provide a habitat for a wide range of bird species, such as woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds. Additionally, the plantation is home to several mammal species, including foxes, badgers, and deer, which can often be spotted by visitors.

Visitors to Cow Close Plantation can enjoy a network of well-maintained walking trails that wind through the woodland, allowing them to explore its natural beauty at their own pace. The pathways are suitable for all abilities, with some areas offering wheelchair access. Along the way, visitors may encounter charming streams, wildflowers, and occasional glimpses of small mammals scurrying through the undergrowth.

The plantation is open to the public year-round, and visitors are encouraged to respect the natural environment and adhere to any signage or guidelines provided. The tranquil atmosphere and stunning scenery of Cow Close Plantation make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a peaceful escape into nature in the heart of Yorkshire.

The approach to Hubberholme Church Hubberholme is at the head of Wharfedale and is very remote. The village was a favourite place of writer and playwright J.B. Priestley who described it as “the smallest, pleasantest place in the world”. The Norman church is the resting place of his ashes. On this miserable wet day, the churchyard was brightened by the poppies as the calendar approached 11th November.
