Bank End Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Yorkshire, England. Covering an area of approximately 100 acres, it is renowned for its breathtaking beauty and rich biodiversity. The plantation is situated on the outskirts of a small village, surrounded by rolling hills and idyllic countryside.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native tree species such as oak, beech, and birch, which create a dense canopy and provide a natural habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna. The forest floor is adorned with an array of wildflowers, including bluebells, primroses, and wood anemones, adding a splash of color to the landscape during springtime.

Bank End Plantation is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, as it is home to a variety of animal species. Visitors may spot roe deer, foxes, and squirrels amidst the trees, while birdwatchers can enjoy the sight of woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds that inhabit the area. The woodland also houses a small pond, attracting frogs, newts, and dragonflies.

The plantation offers a network of well-maintained walking trails, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace. These trails meander through the woodland, providing opportunities for peaceful strolls and nature observation. The plantation is popular among families, hikers, and nature lovers who seek tranquility and a connection with the natural world.

Bank End Plantation is a cherished natural treasure in Yorkshire, offering a serene escape from the bustle of urban life and providing a valuable habitat for a wide range of plant and animal species.

Church Lane, Stainland This is the old road from Stainland village to Bradley Hall, shown on the 1850 OS map as 'Bradley Lane' and shown earlier on Myers's map of 1835. It is an unadopted street, but despite its 'pedigree' is not classed as a public right-of-way apart from what is implied by being on the street list. An application was made in 2005 for it to be classed as a public bridleway.
