Clink Bank Wood

Track heading down towards the Swale The track drops steeply from the level of Easby down to the floodplain on the north bank of the River Swale, where the bridleway ends. A footpath emerges on the far side, slightly downstream - perhaps a right-of-way established by someone habitually riding his horse down to the river and across it, where he was thrown on to the far bank ? The track which is crossed by this one at the foot of the slope is the remains of the railway which went to Richmond.

Clink Bank Wood, located in Yorkshire, is a picturesque forest that spans across an area of approximately 100 hectares. The woodland is situated in the outskirts of a small village, surrounded by rolling hills and offering stunning views of the Yorkshire countryside. It is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and birdwatchers alike.

The wood is predominantly made up of native broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and birch, creating a dense and diverse canopy. This diverse ecosystem supports a wide range of flora and fauna, including various species of wildflowers, fungi, and mosses. Bluebells carpet the forest floor during spring, creating a breathtaking sight for visitors.

Several well-maintained footpaths and trails run through the wood, providing easy access for visitors to explore its natural beauty. The trails wind through the trees, offering tranquil and peaceful walks amidst the sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves. The wood also features a small stream that meanders through its heart, adding to its charm.

The forest is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including numerous bird species such as woodpeckers, owls, and songbirds. Small mammals like squirrels and rabbits can also be spotted darting among the undergrowth. The wood's diverse habitat attracts a significant number of insects, contributing to its ecological importance in the region.

Clink Bank Wood offers a serene and idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Its natural beauty, well-maintained trails, and abundant wildlife make it a perfect destination for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Yorkshire.
