Cliff Plantation is a picturesque woodland area situated in the heart of Yorkshire, England. Covering an expansive area of land, the plantation is renowned for its dense forest and towering cliffs that provide a stunning backdrop for visitors and nature enthusiasts alike.

The woodland is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, with ancient oak, beech, and birch trees dominating the landscape. The forest floor is carpeted with a vibrant array of wildflowers, creating a picturesque scene during the spring and summer months. The plantation is also a haven for wildlife, with deer, foxes, and a variety of bird species calling it their home.

One of the most notable features of Cliff Plantation is its impressive cliffs, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. These towering limestone cliffs not only provide a dramatic backdrop but also serve as a nesting site for several bird species, including peregrine falcons and kestrels.

The plantation is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a network of well-maintained walking trails that wind their way through the woodland. These trails cater to all levels of fitness and provide an opportunity to explore the diverse habitats and stunning vistas that Cliff Plantation has to offer.

In addition to its natural beauty, Cliff Plantation also has a rich history, with evidence of human activity dating back centuries. The area has been used for farming, quarrying, and even as a site for ancient burial mounds. Today, the plantation is managed by a local conservation organization, ensuring its preservation for future generations to enjoy.

Old milestone This, once sad looking, sunken milestone at Crow Edge had, in 2017 been dug out and the wall behind it repaired.   It is one of the 615 milestones erected in 1893/94 by the family firm of Gill and Frank Stead of Mirfield for the newly-formed West Riding County Council.  Over half are still to be found by the roadside all over the old West Riding.   This one has been smartly painted in a similar pattern to several others in this part of Yorkshire.
