Low Park Plantation is a picturesque woodland area located in the heart of Yorkshire, England. It is a well-preserved forest known for its abundant natural beauty and diverse range of plant and animal species. The plantation covers a sprawling area of approximately 500 acres, making it a significant natural reserve in the region.

The woodland is predominantly composed of native broadleaf trees, such as oak, beech, and ash, which create a dense and lush canopy. This provides a favorable habitat for a wide array of wildlife, including various bird species, small mammals, and insects. The plantation is particularly known for its population of red squirrels, which are a rare sight in many parts of the country.

Low Park Plantation offers a tranquil and scenic environment for visitors to explore and enjoy. Several well-maintained walking trails wind their way through the woodland, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in its natural splendor. The trails are suitable for all levels of walkers, from casual strollers to avid hikers.

The plantation is also home to a variety of wildflowers and plants, which add bursts of color to the woodland throughout the year. Springtime sees the forest floor carpeted with bluebells, while summer brings a profusion of orchids and other delicate blooms.

Overall, Low Park Plantation is a haven for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst the beauty of Yorkshire's countryside. Its rich biodiversity and stunning scenery make it an ideal destination for both locals and tourists looking to connect with nature.

The most numerous relics are the rock carvings which can be found on many of the boulders and outcrops scattered across the moor. Burial monuments stone circles and a range of enclosed settlements are also known. [source: Historic England, overall description covering several ancient monument sites] There are several small reservoirs, originally built by local authorities, that collect water from the moors. The Rombalds Water Board was taken over by the Yorkshire Water Authority in 1973.
