Lee Garth Plantation is a picturesque woodland located in Yorkshire, England. Situated in the heart of the county, it covers an area of approximately 200 acres, making it a significant natural asset in the region. The plantation is part of the larger Lee Garth estate and is renowned for its diverse flora and fauna.

The woodland comprises a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees, creating a stunning tapestry of colors throughout the year. Oak, beech, and birch trees dominate the landscape, while spruce and pine add an evergreen charm. The dense canopy provides a haven for a wide range of wildlife, including deer, squirrels, and numerous species of birds.

A network of well-maintained trails meanders through the plantation, offering visitors the opportunity to explore its natural beauty on foot or by bike. These paths lead to scenic viewpoints, tranquil ponds, and enchanting clearings, providing a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.

Lee Garth Plantation is not only a haven for wildlife but also plays an important role in carbon sequestration and the overall environmental health of the area. The woodland acts as a natural filter, improving air quality and absorbing carbon dioxide. It also contributes to soil stability and water conservation, making it an essential part of the local ecosystem.

Visitors to Lee Garth Plantation can enjoy the beauty of nature, engage in outdoor activities, and appreciate the tranquility that this woodland sanctuary offers. The plantation stands as a testament to the natural charm of Yorkshire and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and protecting our natural habitats.

Frank Parkinson Homes, Guiseley A set of almshouses, built in the late 20th century but in a traditional courtyard style. They are named after Frank Parkinson (1887-1946), an electrical engineer and philanthropist who was a major benefactor of the University of Leeds and founded what became Crompton Parkinson, a major employer in Guiseley until recent times. He left a bequest for these almshouses which are now managed by the Anchor Housing Association.
