Covering an area of approximately 500 hectares, Broadhams Stripe is characterized by its towering oak and beech trees, which provide a stunning canopy of foliage throughout the year. The forest floor is adorned with a tapestry of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, creating a vibrant and enchanting atmosphere.

One of the notable features of Broadhams Stripe is its extensive network of walking trails, allowing visitors to explore the forest at their own pace. The paths wind through the woodland, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and glimpses of local wildlife, including deer, rabbits, and a variety of bird species.

In addition to its natural beauty, Broadhams Stripe also holds historical significance.

Road over Rail The Wensleydale railway is a preserved railway in North Yorkshire. The line currently runs 22 miles (35 km) between Northallerton on the East Coast Main Line and Redmire. This makes the line the longest heritage railway in Great Britain. Occasional freight services and excursions travel the full length of the line, however regular passenger services currently only operate between Leeming Bar and Redmire, a distance of 16.5 miles (27 km). Formerly the line ran from Northallerton to Garsdale on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. However the track between Redmire and Garsdale was lifted and several bridges and viaducts were demolished in the past.
