Edge End Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in the Yorkshire region of England. Situated on the outskirts of a small village, it covers an area of approximately 100 acres and is renowned for its natural beauty, diverse flora, and abundant wildlife.

The woodland primarily consists of a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, providing a rich and varied habitat. Tall, majestic oak, beech, and birch trees dominate the landscape, creating a dense canopy that filters sunlight and casts enchanting shadows on the forest floor. Intermingled with these are towering Scots pines and spruces, adding a touch of evergreen charm to the plantation.

Walking through Edge End Plantation, visitors are greeted by a symphony of sounds from the resident bird population. Chirping songbirds such as thrushes and warblers can be heard, along with the distinctive calls of woodpeckers echoing through the trees. Red squirrels dart among the branches, while rabbits and badgers find refuge in the undergrowth.

The woodland is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and families seeking a tranquil escape from urban life. Several well-marked trails wind their way through the plantation, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its hidden nooks and crannies. Within the woodland, there are also designated picnic areas where visitors can relax and enjoy the serene surroundings.

Edge End Plantation is not only a haven for wildlife but also a vital ecosystem that helps purify the air and provides a natural barrier against soil erosion. Its preservation and careful management ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of this remarkable woodland.

The aqueduct carrying the Rochdale Canal over the Calder at Hebden Bridge The Rochdale Canal runs for 33 miles between Manchester and Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire, UK. In Sowerby Bridge it connects with the Calder and Hebble Navigation. In Manchester it connects with the Ashton and Bridgewater Canals. 

The canal was opened between Sowerby Bridge and Todmorden and from Manchester to Rochdale in 1799 and between Todmorden and Rochdale in 1805. Most of the canal was closed in 1952. Restoration work began in late 1980s and by  1996 the canal was opened to navigation once again between Sowerby Bridge and the summit level. The canal was re-opened to navigation along its entire length in July 2002 and forms part of the South Pennine Ring.
